After Hurricane Sandy

There is bad news here on Long Island...

My street is on the North shore, we have a lot of trees down...




The South Shore is worse... many houses are under water or got washed away.


In Breezy Point, Brooklyn 100+ houses burned down...


and in NYC there is the flooding in the subway...


Somehow, at my house we are lucky enough to keep
 electricity, wifi, and tv....

We are very thankful today!

Our neighbors are eating, showering, 
and spending time at my house... 

Our prayers go out to all who were in harm's way...
Stay strong!

    Yes, you are very blessed. Your neighbors are lucky to have you around. I can not imagine the devastation the east coast is facing now.

    So glad you're okay and able to help some who didn't fare as well. We may not be close in miles but you're close in our thoughts and prayers! Wishing all of you well.

    I can't even imagine that kind of damage! So glad your family is fine and you have utilities and can bless others with them.

    It's all sooo sad, Breezy Point is the saddest part I think...so devastating!

    I'm happy y'all are safe and sound. It's going to be a long road for most, I'm glad you're there to offer "shelter in the storm". :)

    have a good weekend Susan!
