Great news! Sara Semborski and I survived the hurricane. Between my whale and my life vest, I had enough buoyancy to keep us afloat- and that I did do. 
We spent the night in our friends fortified house in Kensington with several other good friends. We made a total of 12 pizzas thanks to our members of Pizza Brain and played some vicious games of Killer Wink.
Despite some flooded basements and a few mildly flooded rivers (with the exception of Manayunk) Philly made it out ok.
My parents house, which is 2 hours further inland, did not do such a great job of surviving however. A tree down on the house, a tree down on the car and electrical wires all over the yard. Thankfully, they are ok- but they actually wanted me to come home to safety instead of staying in the “dreadful” Philadelphia. Guess they should have come to the always sunny city instead!
I’m glad it’s over. I’m glad it’s sunday. As Joshua Grace stated in an e-mail this morning, “it’s a great day to worship God together.”
