Right?? I just realized that was the last time I dressed up for Halloween; I graduated college the following spring. It's been 10+ years?! ...Oh shit, I'm old.

My family and I are Muslims and we don't celebrate Halloween. I remember the day that some people were Trick or Treating my mom commented something like "Ever year they dress as ghosts, this year they got a real ghost in that storm"

When did Irene Hit? Wasn't that in September of 2011? I don't think there were hurricanes in NJ in October 2011. Irene did give us a shitload of rain though. It broke roads, flooded houses in Lincroft/ Tinton Falls. Irene also broke a water treatment facility near me. We couldn't drink tap water& short showers were required while they fixed the busted up pipes, & updated the layout.

Irene happened at the end of August 2011. There was an impact but nothing like Sandy the following year. The big October 2011 snow was super odd. Trees were not yet bare and the snow really weighed them down. A family member was delayed 3 days in LA because of it.
