I certainly hope that the High Line plantings weren’t decimated in the storm. I’ve heard from friends and colleagues in the New York Metro area today, and several are dealing with severe storm damage, power outages, flooding and significant property loss, as well as many trees down. Also heard from some friends in Ohio, which was taking a beating. I’m grateful, though, that everyone seems to be okay. That’s the most important thing, of course.

I can imagine that walking it in nice weather must have been really nice–not to mention providing an unusual and intriguing perspective on the city streets. Now I want to see it when I am in NYC again.

Today the link said the High Line was closed due to Hurricane Sandy. From the news this morning, I learned that damage in the city and all over New Jersey was extensive, horrific. As Evie says in her reply to Jackie, turns out we got only a glancing blow in Worcester.

Thanks so much, Jackie! We were lucky. Just scary wind gusts and some dancing trees, but no real damage in our neighborhood, and we retained power throughout. I hope you do as well there today. I am quite thankful. Even saw a patch of blue and a little sun about an hour ago!

Hope the storm was “kind”. We are just getting very high winds in northeastern WI from the storm. I watched the birds this am struggling to drink from the pond in the backyard. Thankful for a warm, dry home! Post an update when you are up to it.

Thanks!
Jackie
