let there be light

Thank you all for thinking of my family and I during the Hurricane and it's aftermath. We finally got our power back last night and now that the temperature has reached a livable level we can return home.

I went jogging through my town yesterday and was heartbroken to see the amount of devastation on each and every street. I passed huge trees laying on houses, on cars, across roads, and this 2 full weeks after Sandy hit. The most terrifying sight was that of a vacant lot where a house stood before the storm. A falling tree hit a gas line causing the house to explode. There's nothing left. Luckily, one of our neighbors (who was also a first responder in Manhattan on September 11th) was able to get into the house and save the man who lived there. God bless him.
