Sandy was all over the news, mostly because New York and New Jersey had not set aside money to repair if a hurricane ever hit (a threat we take very seriously here in Carolina).

To answer your question, no. I hadn't heard anything of the sort. Everyone was to busy blabbering about Michelle Obama's innaguration dress and how all the schools in Carolina were closing because 'there [was] a threat of snow and icy roads' (I was born in the north, so it's hilarious how everything shuts down when we get some winter weather.

So, to get back on topic...

How long has this been going on, and what caused it? Like I said, I've heard nothing of the sort, so post links and events and status updates and other stuff like that.

Hope you're okay, and you guys make it out okay down there!
