Hurricane Sandy Aftermath

We woke up this morning with the power still on. Praise the Lord! It is a blessing to not have to worry about our food spoiling or our house getting too cold (it's in the 40's today) or how we will heat up our food. We have some friends in VA that did lose their power. Apparently NY and NJ were hit pretty bad, and the hurricane is still going. It's still raining here, but no more "hurricane force winds". It's been raining continuously and overcast since Sunday. Some water got into our attic (we think) as we noticed a wet ring on the ceiling around the light fixture in the master bedroom, but nothing is dripping. Our master smells like fish, though! We are not sure why. One question we have is that if the hurricane came from the ocean, is the rain we are experiencing salt water/water from the ocean? If so, then I could understand why our room suddenly has a fishy smell. If you have any knowledge of this aspect of hurricanes, please don't hesitate to enlighten me in a comment below.
