Hurricane Sandy and her impact

Hurricane Sandy has had an enormous effect on peoples' lives and my heart goes out to those most affected by this natural disaster. I am always blown away by the great compassion by people... complete strangers, when a tragedy strike. I will never believe that people on a whole is selfish... it's been proven time and time again that it is the complete opposite. My faith in humanity has been renewed once again.

My family and most of my friends have escaped Sandy's wrath practically unscathed, and I must give the protective forces in the universe.. shoten zenjin, thanks for that.

This is the extent of the damage in our neighborhood.
