Even the seagulls of Goldthwait Reservation in Marblehead, MA were hunkered down as Hurricane Sandy made its presence felt. Schools and many businesses (including iRobot) across Massachusetts were closed today at the request of the Governor. I ventured out to the coast for a few hours to experience the raw power of nature. Jeanine was not thrilled with the idea but I was not to be dissuaded. I have never seen anything like it and am glad I made the excursion. I kept a respectful distance from the water and returned to my car when the wind became dangerous.
