We've received a number of phone calls and emails checking to see if Hurricane Sandy blew our little town off the map or floated us out to sea. Just a quick note to report that the Cape is tougher than it looks, but also very lucky. Although the Upper Cape lost power briefly in some places and the ocean frontage took a beating, Eastham had what amounted to just another good Nor'easter as the winds reached 80 mph and the rain sprinkled. We wisely took proper precautions, but other than peace of mind, they proved unnecessary. We were definitely aware of her force though and on the morning after could hear the ocean roaring from our yard, a half mile away. Many of the leaves, which had been so reluctant to turn colors before the storm, now found themselves on the ground and ready for raking.
