Wow - fantastic that you get to see this effort in action!!! From occasionally watching the program on TV, I figured that there had to be an amazingly "extreme" organizational effort to put these projects together.
I stopped over to say that I hope your area escaped the wrath of that "extreme" storm that passed over Long Island .....
We had a few sprinkles and dark clouds here but nothing more. I think toward the city they got something, and just across the Sound in Bridgeport there was a tornado!
The organization is indeed extreme. So many things going on at once! It's like a twelve-ring circus.
Fun! We had one in Suffield which is about a 20 minute ride from here, I didn't go see it being done but I have driven by it complete, it's huge compared to the neighbors
