The past few days have been a rough one for New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. There is a Hurricane called Hurricane Sandy coming in and around. I still remember the days of the Hurricanes back then like Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Katrina. It is always a devastation whenever this happens. There has been power loses going on in other places. Back in my hometown of Parsippany, New Jersey it has been without power since yesterday morning. The one thing that my mom and the friends at home are living on is just surviving on their own. They just use candles and flashlights to get to the different spots of the house. Boy am I glad we don't live in a Colonial house otherwise it would be terribly bad for them. Our house has a brook behind it but luckily we have to go and walk down a long hill in order for us to get there. I sure am glad that river is NOT rising up otherwise it would definitely flood our entire street which wouldn't be good at all. I remember last year Lower Lk. Hiawatha all had most of their homes destroyed due to the flood and you were able to canoe out there and it was very devastating for most residents.

Here at Messiah yesterday we had classes cancelled for the whole day. I remember learning about it on late Sunday Night at about 9:30 pm. We were all waiting all day Sunday to see whether the classes would even get cancelled or not. It was a weird one on us because all the other Colleges were having their classes cancelled completely for 2 days straight while ours were still making a decision. I was desperate in finding out and hoping it would be cancelled. Then suddenly about 9:30 pm I heard screams of YEAH! from my floor. I wondered what was going on then one minute later I receive a text that states that Classes were Cancelled for good! That moment I Screamed at the top of my lungs and ran out to celebrate with the floor. After that I went more crazy and ran to the floor connected to my floor where my friends were and ran down the hall screaming crazily. It was hilarious and awesome even though some people on that floor were idiots thinking I was only joking when IT WAS REAL! But yes I got to stay up that night and go to bed a bit late. On the positive note I was surprisingly already done with just about all of my work and could relax. So I spent most of yesterday relaxing for a really good amount of the day. I studied a bit for Bible but theres more work so I'll be spending today doing it I guess LOL!

Now I learned that Jersey Shore has flooded and now all the streets are literally flooded for good. Wildwood, Seaside Heights, Atlantic City, Cape May, and Sandy Hook are basically all gone. It looks as if it is devastating and sad because it was once there and I had been there back when I was younger. In fact I was at Wildwood for Prom Weekend and at Seaside Heights this past Summer for a fun High School Reunion drinking and hanging out. Now I just can't believe the boardwalk is flooded according to the pictures I saw. Even New York City is flooded and I don't know what will happen with it all. Seven years ago Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana and now it devastates New Jersey. I still don't understand why some people down in South Jersey/Jersey Shore wouldn't evacuate at all and some are stupid to go to the Shelters like what the AC Mayor says. But Rest In Peace to Jersey Shore I'll miss you a ton!
