So while most of the mid-atlantic states to our north sighed in relief about missing the brunt of Isabel, no one in the small Philadelphia suburb of Havertown was aware of what was to come next. Of course, the worst of it occured on my street. During the storm, our neighbor Ginger was in her car and felt it lift slightly off the ground. Too terrified to get out, she sat in it and watched as trees, fences, and debris crashed down all around her. My street was evacuated and homes were without power for most of the day. All is well now, I'm happy to say.

Tell you what though...something like this would happen to me: "I just made my final payment on the car on Thursday, and now I can't even see into it to see if any of the windows were shattered," he said. "Another unfortunate part of the story is my car alarm didn't even go off."
