Hurricane Sandy
Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 8:41 AM Hello Dear Readers, My apartment building has been under mandatory evacuation order since Monday due to the hurricane. We are safe and sound, just a bit inconvenienced. Unfortunately, I do not have my computer, which makes it difficult to blog. I appreciate your understanding and hope to resume blogging in time for the election. Thinking of all of those affected by the storm. xx Mrs. T
Update (11/5): Thank you all so much for the concern! I truly appreciate your comments. We were able to get back into our apartment tonight and I'll have the blog up and running by tomorrow evening.

Stay safe, Mrs. T.
Dear Mrs. T, I am also on the East Coast though just outside of Boston. We lost power for a couple of days and had some trees uprooted but just minor inconvenience compared to what has happened in New York and New Jersey. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all those affected by Hurricane Sandy!
Ay, God bless you, ma'am. You've been such a blessing to many, I pray you continue making it wherever you are now and that all is as well as can be when you return home.
thinking of you and wishing you strength and courage, hope all turns out well.
Mrs. T, So sorry to hear your news. My thoughts are with you and others as you deal with this situation. I look forward to your return, when life has returned to normality for you.
Hang in there, Mrs. T. I live on the West Coast, but the photos of Manhattan are horrifying. Don't know how people are coping...
Mrs. T, thinking of you and your family, and all those impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Hope your world turns "right-side-up" soon.
Good to hear from you, Mrs. T. I have been concerned about you, and also about Jersey Girl. The devastation from Sandy is so heart-breaking. My thoughts are with everybody in the region.
Stay safe Mrs T and all Mrs O bloggers who reside on the east coast.
So happy to hear that you are ok Mrs. T. I know you guys have a tough road ahead of you, but hopefully, you gain some sense of normalcy in the coming days. Peace and Love to you.
Groovy, I am wondering about Jerseygirl too. I hope she is ok.
Stay safe everyone! Hugs from the Bay Area.
We will send positive thoughts her way!
Oh my, Mrs. T! When we didn't hear from you for so long, I worried that you might be affected. Hoping it won't be too much longer until you are back home. Best wishes!

You’ve always made it possible for us to enjoy this fascinating blog now it’s time to focus on getting things back to normal, which is difficult after this devastating heart-breaking moment. WE ARE ALL AFFECTED by these disasters whether we live in the U.S. or not. Me today…..could be others tomorrow. Many of us have relatives in these distant places. Hope knowing we’re here for you “all" will give you much comfort . We pray that God will shower them with blessings of strength and peace to get through this very difficult time. Keep safe.

Thank you for all of your wonderful posts. Our thoughts are with you and everyone who is experiencing challenges caused by the storms.
Thank you also for showing us more and more of this inspiring family, who have done so much and will do so much to help our world, especially as we face climate change. We love Mrs. O and her husband, and everyone who supports them and reveals their brilliance and beauty. Thanks for being one of those people! Every blessing as life gets back to normal.
Mrs. T, so very sorry to hear how affected you've been. Your site is such an intelligent and witty spot in my day. Don't worry about rushing back to your legion of fans, just take care of yourself and those you love. Hopefully, we'll have something to celebrate in only a few days.
I pray God keep you safe and secure!!!
Hi Mrs. T and all,
I don't usually post but I check this blog often. When I didn't see a recent update I wondered if something happened to Mrs. T. I'm glad you're alive. I hope Jersey Girl is well. I send my prayers to all. Is there anything I can do to help?
Glad to know you r fine Mrs. T. I'll pray for your prompt return to your home. It has been difficult. Slowly but surely towns and neighborhoods r getting power. Pray for those who lost everything.
We are praying for your safety and wishing for the best outcome possible.
Don't worry, we have your back!
Mrs. T,
Prayers to you and your family and hoping a speedy return to your home. Your blog is a wonderful tribute to our First Lady and we appreciate your dedication to it. Blessings always
Hi Mrs T, Glad to know that you are okay. My husband and I left New Jersey just two weeks before the hurricane to reside permanently in the Caribbean. We do have friends and family in NY and NJ but they are all fine. I hope and pray for all those who have been affected by this storm and am deeply concerned about the forecasted Nor'easter. God's blessings and heaps of luck.
Hoping, a donation to the Red Cross is one way to help!
Im so sorry to hear you have not been able to get home. We will keep you in our prayers & thank GOD for keeping you safe.
Be safe Mrs T. We're not worried about the blog. After all, we will be following it until 2016!!
Take care!
All of us who are not in the area can join together to help by donating through your cell phone or through Macy's who will match your donation to help those in dire need.
So sorry to hear this - I trust you will soon be able to return home.
Take care.
Mrs. T-
Glad to hear you're OK. I'm in NJ. This has been quite a humbling experience. Hope you get back to normal quickly and safely.
I am glad to know that you and your family are safe. Here's to hoping that things are back to normal for you real soon.
Mrs. T,
I'm thankful you all are well. Many of us here in Louisiana and Mississippi are praying for swift recovering of all utilities to homes and businesses as the region begins its recovery process.
Good to know that you are alright. Things will get better. I am looking forward to your return.
I am glad to hear you are ok. Take care of you and yours.
Mrs. T, Can you give us an update....are you okay?

For those of you who want to send donations, here is one agency that is focusing on helping seniors who have lost everything: You can mail material or monetary donations to Coney Island Generation Gap, 2904 Neptune Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224
Mrs. T, I certainly hope and pray that all is well with you and your family, neighbors, and friends.
Stay safe. I pray that you will return home soon and all will be well.
