By the way, Svend, it appears that the remnants of Sandy are up in the Toronto area.  Still packing any punch?

Jim, we had a good blow here Monday overnight, with some powerlines and trees down in the city and in nearby Waterloo.  But in our town all was fine.  Lots of wind, ~80 to 90 km/hr, but no major damage.  Since Tuesday AM it's been calm and quiet.  Lots of rain, but all is well.

BTW, great link to the photos from NYC and NJ.  No. 40 struck me especially -- it reminded me of the pictures of French or German towns in World War 2, with the entire place wiped out, and only a few pieces of the church still standing.  Very poignant and sad.

My heart goes out to all those who lost their houses and businesses.  I really feel for them, and wish them speedy recovery.
