Storm Damage

We had "tropical storm" Isaias head up the east coast this week. It never reached hurricane status but did an awful lot of destruction on its way through. It reached the tri-state area on Tuesday. From what I was seeing outside my windows there was a lot...I mean a LOT of strong wind, but not much rain like they had predicted. However, when I watched the news there were tornado warnings, power outages, and downed trees and power lines all over. Five minutes from where I live several towns lost power for nearly a day and there are some places on Long Island that still don't have their power restored. A friend of mine in NJ was told his area would be without power probably until Sunday. We were very lucky!!! Today I went out to the bank and to do some food shopping. I passed this house in Sayville with a handicapped ramp in front and I had to stop. Luckily I keep a small sketchbook, pens, and a paint palette in the car so I was able to do a quick sketch of this from my car parked across the street. It looks like the downed tree got the car too. I hope nobody was hurt!

  1. Wow, great painting. I was worried about you guys. I heard about so many problems along the coast and in your area. Happy all is well for you.

  2. Wow - glad it didn't hit you badly as this looks like a fair bit of damage. We had a storm last night here too but nothing like what you guys get. This is a super painting of the storm damage.

    1. Thanks, Val. It is really strange how one area gets hit so hard and a location right next to it has hardly any damage.

  3. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
