NJ is not prepared for that kind of stuff, so of course we took prevention! peoples houses and cars are completely underwater in some parts of the north east.kaleigh annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102501023108359181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379773217495837003.post-24615071086222657262011-08-30T19:32:19.794-05:002011-08-30T19:32:19.794-05:00How bizarre that any sane person would have such a...How bizarre that any sane person would have such a reaction.

Just so happens a tornado hit about a block from where we were staying. None of this is 100% predictable. But thankfully they "over-reacted" or things might not have ended well for me and my family!Janet Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688012956157161889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379773217495837003.post-61464561996343778332011-08-30T15:20:27.193-05:002011-08-30T15:20:27.193-05:00I don't think it was blown out of proportion. ...I don't think it was blown out of proportion. It had the potential to be very disasterous--and if you ask anyone in New Jersey or Vermont, I think they'd agree. That could have been me. <br /><br />I'm glad they hyped it.
