Post-Hurricane Sandy
Oct. 30th, 2012 10:35 pmFor us, the recent hurricane became a non-issue this morning. The sun came up through overcast skies and we found we were still dry, still had electricity and there was no damage to our property.
The ban on non-essential driving was lifted by about 11am, the Metro system was running again by 2pm and nearly all businesses, schools and gov't offices will resume regular business Wednesday morning.
For me, the past 48 hours was even more normal that all of that. Since I regularly work from home, I do my thing so long as I have electricity and a working Internet connection.![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kent4str had Monday & Tuesday off as his office was closed so he was able to enjoy some quality television time while I kept the Internet in working order.
Tomorrow, I will attempt to drive to the data center. I know the major roads are just fine, but I have some questions about the back roads I use to avoid paying road tolls. I also have no idea how many vehicles to expect; some folks may need extra time from the office to work on their homes while others may not have a working office to go to yet. Then again, since all have been away for two days already, perhaps every worker out there is chomping at the bit to get back to the office to address their backlog. We'll see tomorrow.
