Superstorm Sandy

[tompm]

Last night we discovered additional damage to the house. One of the downspouts in the back of the house was ripped off the wall. Something hit the siding under my son’s bedroom window. There is a big dent in the siding and the molding is broken. My son remembers something hitting the wall but at the time we were dealing with the down tree in the front yard. Tonight when I get home I will be taking a closer inspection of the back of the house.

This is getting old fast for us. The gutters, downspouts, roof, and portions of the siding were replaced two years ago as a result of the major hailstorm. This is now the second National Disaster in three years that we have damage to our house. I know we are luckier than a lot of other people but it is just frustrating.

My daughter has been trying to reach one of her teammates from last year’s club volleyball team. They are year-round residents of Long Beach Island. So far she has not heard back.
