Hurricane Sandy is coming and my mother's old stomping grounds have been evacuated. My grandparents used to live on Pratt Island in Connecticut on Long Island Sound. We spent lots of our holidays and summer vacations there.
I heard stories about hurricanes all my life, and even experienced one or two of the milder ones while I was visiting. Power outages, flooded basements, waves crashing over the sea wall and the causeway.
It was always exciting. Of course, I was a kid and didn't have to deal with any of the actual reality of the storms.
Sandy has already wreaked havoc in the Caribbean. I sure hope no one has to face too much reality this week.
