Hi Everyone: Thank you for all your well wishes and concern. We came out of this very, very fortunate. We only had 4 trees down. Our power just came back on and our cell service is back. It was like a Twilight Zone episode. Everything was cut off. We have gre at neighbors as well- we  all went to each other's houses and helped out today with downed limbs and trees. The dogs are fine. They were extremely quiet last night and  we were proud of out troopers-even the Malinois!  Unfortunately, the rest of the town did not fare as well. There are parts of Little Egg Harbor (Mystic Island and Osbourne Island) where people lost homes. Schools are not open so tomorrow will just be another day of raking. Thanking our lucky stars!
