Your slightly sodden Journal Blogger
Posted on | June 30, 2006 | 6 Comments
If you’ve been watching the news over the last couple of days, no doubt you’ve heard about the flooding in the northeast, primarily the Susquenehanna and Delaware Rivers in NY, NJ and PA.
What you may not realize is that The MicroEnterprise Journal is published from my home office in Sidney, in a house that is literally right across the street from the Susquehanna.
We were evacuated on Wednesday morning and have been living on a mat in the Sidney Middle School gym since then.
So, I hope you’ll bear with me if The Journal Blog falls silent for the next few days. I’ll get in here when I can find somebody with power and a working Internet connection, to give you updates.
We’re safe. We’re dry. Rumor has it that our house is still standing. We have been very fortunate.
