Journal of a "Bride" in New York

I write my daily experiences outside Japan.

Storm

2010-03-15 | 日記
It was like a storm with much rain and strong winds on Sun., March 14th.

I was surprised to find out on TV local news that the storm of the previous day did the worst damage in history in New Jersey State.

About 500,000 power outages throughout the three states nearby, many trees knocked down, some killed, rivers flooded

I simply thought that winds sounded so strong because I lived along the river, and the fire-engine sirens just made me wondere if fire broke out somewhere even in the rain.

A friend of mine in Japan e-mailed me, asking me if the rainstorm did no damage to me. People often know little of what's happening in their own backyards.
