“It was the anticipation of the storm and getting around after it that affected me most. I was prepared, I still have all the water and cans of tuna. I lost power for awhile but was really lucky compared to others. After the storm it was difficult because of all the detours and traffic. It was a challenge, it was scary, and it was a whole week of inconvenience.”
