I'm pretty concerned about Staten Island, since a good chunk of my Family lives there, and also the Diesel shop I work at. So far, things haven't appeared to be to bad for them, though Staten Island apparently has the highest death toll, and places I know there were pretty much wiped out by the floods.
At our home, we only had about 5 big trees, fall, but only two of them did any damage (splintering to sections of fence). We managed to clear it all before noon on tuesday though.
I suppose I'm lucky that the worst thing to come from this storm for me was a horrifying case of poison oak to the face (I could probably audition to be the phantom of the opera with this face). Must have ran into it prior to the storm when clearing out drainage ditches to make sure they didn't block up and flood the area by our shop.
Hope everyone else is alright, though I suppose by now things have settled down.
