Off the Grid
October 31, 2012
Because of
Hurricane Sandy, Tikalon has been without
electrical power since Monday, October 29, 2012, as has most of
New Jersey. It may take a week before power is restored.
Sandy is a familiar version of the name, Sandra. Sandra is a principal character in my book,
Mother Wode. I guess Sandra didn't like her character development!

Hurricane Sandy has been called the New York metropolitan area's Katrina.
Will such storms become a common occurrence?
