Feeling powerless - Hurricane "Sandy"

Living in New England you can really get slammed when it comes to mother nature and her wrath, but it seems like once a year,last year Hurricane "Irene" and now this storm, the BIG ONE manages to find the east coast ,only this time "Sandy" is the big one and you're powerless to do anything about it.

I live about 15 minutes outside of Boston and local weather reports are NOT predicting for this particular storm to slam us, however they are talking about high winds and heavy rain for an extended period of time(12 pm Mon - 9 pm Mon night ) , the media IMO blows things up all the time and it makes for alot of people to be anxiety ridden, including myself, obviously there is nothing you can do about it , but wait it out, there is no alternitive, my wife and i have prepared ourselves to expect the worse and hope for the best, this is one of those times i wish i didn't live in New England.

Finally i know my fear will disapate as the next few days go by, i just need to be strong and realize i'm not the only one dealing with this , but boy i'll tell you , it's a pretty scarey feeling knowing this size storm is headed right for you and nothing you do is going to make a difference as far as preventing it, at this point , just deal with it , as hard as it will be, power outages or not, and hopefully my higher power will get us through it safely, thank you all for listening and PLEASE BE SAFE AND GOD BLESS.
