My sister caught this lovely rainbow at 7 PM Saturday night.

Like the phone posts said, the wind never really got that bad. I got a little nervous for a while around 3 AM and made Connor get out of his bed that was by a window. I kept setting the alarm on my phone every hour so I could wake up and assess if we needed to move downstairs. I am a really hard sleeper and was afraid I would miss the warning sounds that woul alert me that something ugly was about to happen. Needless to say, I was exhausted this morning and have done quite a bit of napping ever since.
I sent text messages to lots of people to let them know we were okay and still here.
My sister was up right before me and went outside to photo the limited damage. I grabbed cam and took some too when she was done.
This is the East view and West view. Looks like the night before, but with wet streets. The East view is facing the streets Buffalo Speedway and Westchester that CNN was showing this morning with the downed trees. My favorite tree out front was still standing. Yea!
This tall tree behind our apartments and backing up the convent didn't fare so well. Part of it broke off.
A small portion of the carport flew off. My sister moved it next the the apartments. Interestingly, There was a window screen propped up against the wall of the apartment across from us from when the tenet just finished moving yesterday. It was still there this morning.
My son moved most of my sister's jungle for her yesterday. These are the plants that remained. The rose bush/ vine thingy came loose and my sister propped it back and and righted the plants. She is complaining because she has to water all the plants. Because of the wind and minutia of rain, the plants are thirstier than prior to the hurricane.
Also, the airvent for the AC over a portion of the stairs is leaking water, so there is a pot catching it on the stairs....just waiting for a clumsy person or cat to trip and knock it over.
Con is out of school till Wednesday. I don't know yet if I go back to work Monday or not. I hope so. I am bored.
