    Isaias, pronounced ees-ah-EE-ahs, is the Spanish-Latin derivative of the Hebrew name Isaiah.

        I have been thru SANDY,IRENE and this last one...
        I live maybe 2 miles from the water but luckily on higher part of town,which one finds out
        under the worse of situations..
        I walked my 2 dogs when this last one hit and it scared me to the point I watched the tall red oaks tremble and was ready to
        run if the were uprooted or branches broken off..
        IT left a lot of damage and people still have no power.
        To add more pain it caused a ton of fires out east...
        We were lucky it moved at light speed because if it stayed for hours we would really be in for it....
        I also feel with no real winter trees and plants took off this year just growing every where and
        both the utilities and most homeowners do not trim their trees near power lines...
