Playing a party game and hope we don’t get hit or lose power.

Can’t say it any better than that, so seconding.

Let us know when it’s gone over – (presuming that you’re a) OK and b) still have functioning internet.

We are safe, no freight train came through.

Rain got very hard, but I no hail.

I won a game and came in 2nd twice, so cool.

Oh, you Jersey boys just don’t know how to handle a real natural disaster or severe weather. I lived through dozens of tornado warnings as a child in the Midwest and hardly any of them ever killed me or transported me to a colorful world where I dropped a house on an ‘evil witch’ and then stole her shoes. Now, a good flood or a serious ice storm, those can really knock you on your ass! And sinkholes…don’t get me started about sinkholes.
