Live United States Wind Map!

There is a live wind map over at Hint.Fm, very interesting and beautiful

Jack and I will be going out in a bit to check if there was any crazy storm damage. edit: there wasn't. yay!

Hurricane Sandy in NH, the beginning

Oak tree that came down about 10 feet in front of this house. Weakest oak tree, luckiest house!

I'm still here!

One of my mantra's keeping me together with this hurricane and some other life events: If Britney can make it through 2007, I can make it through today!

It's just started raining here, but nothing too bad. Thought I heard thunder, but it was just a plane or a truck. The plane noise is standing out a lot to me now! Jack and I live by the local airport, and Air Force 1 seems to use it a lot. Almost every time I notice a plane, I will later notice pictures/news of President Obama somewhere in NH. Most recently it was his visit to Nashua.

Which also reminds me- one of my favorite things about New Hampshire is that you can register to vote on election day. This is super exciting for me, as I did not get the paperwork needed to establish residency here until very recently, and I was not sure if I'd be able to vote on 11/6. But! I will be able to. Jack got our local polling place, so I will be going with him. 

I have never felt politics quite like I do here before. Being in a swing state makes me feel like some kind of courted princess haha. I can only imagine what people in Ohio feel like! There was a great skit about this on the Daily Show:

In other parts of my life- I have a job interview today! I am very excited about this one and have been preparing non-stop haha. I will not let this Hurricane get in my way today! 

Hurricane Sandy

Originally from CNBC.Com

I am getting ready for my first storm! I've been seeing a bunch of articles on the Frankenstorm which will most likely be hitting us Sunday and feel the need to prepare. Sadly, one of the closest Wal-Mart's is reportedly out of flash lights already. :( Over at TheWeatherChannel they have an inventory list for a Disaster Supply Kit, which I'm pretty sure we don't have much of. Luckily we are less than a mile away from the airport, and about a mile and a half from a hospital in the opposite direction so our power, if it goes out, will be one of the first grids up. (One of the last big storms, Jack's power was up in two days. His fathers, who lives about 5 miles away, was up in ~30.)
Part of me is kind of excited- this will possibly my first experience with ~~WEATHER~~ that everyone has been warning me about.
Two days ago Jack told me this probably won't be anything. Now he's talking about it being super intense, hopefully just to freak me out a bit. Thank god I am not a child and this will not ruin my Halloween.
