We are fine, it skirted us and went north. We don’t live near the Delaware. But I’m very worried about my grandma. She lives about where you used to live. I texted her to make sure she was ok when it was all going down and she was terrified, she was in her basement for awhile but it started to flood and she had to go back upstairs. I texted her the next morning and she answered so I at least know she’s alive but she seemed shell shocked. She lives right near the D&R canal so I’m sure she’s trapped on that side but I’m hoping she can get out the other side of her neighborhood. I just texted her again, I hope she texts back soon!

Edit: she got back to me. Ended up with 6 inches of water in her basement, had a couple of small pool cover pumps and pumped it out enough that the sump pump could work again. She’ll have to clean up the basement. I wish we could go up there to help but I’m honestly not sure we would make it. Not with Princeton the way it is.
