Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore!!

Holy Cow is this wind crazy or what??  This HUGE storm that's blowing in is covering an area of around 900 square miles and Hurricane Sandy is becoming quite the wicked witch! 
 
Even though, Sandy is bearing down hard on the East Coast the soldiers are still standing guard here at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier!!  I find this incredibly amazing and it almost brought tears to my eyes!  These brave men are battling awful weather to guard and honor this sacred place.

Here in Kentucky, we aren't experiencing any rain yet.  The main difference is the cold and the wind!  I feel like if I had some ruby slippers, me and my dog Lucy (plus my babies) would find ourselves in the Land of Oz!  Hopefully Oz would be much warmer than here right now!!  BRRRR...  
 
The one thing that worries me about this storm system is the fact that my husband drives for FedEx.  He drives at night, pulling double trailers.  He goes to Johnson City, TN every night and with the current and impending weather conditions, I'm nervous about him driving such heavy equipment with high winds and snow!!  I doubt I'll sleep a wink all week long!
