I am looking at the destruction that Sandy has caused on the East coast.  It is particularly upsetting to me,  because right now all of my family are without power, possibly for the next 10 days.  The devastation  of the homes in areas I know so well is just too sad.  I am glad my family's homes are safe, but I don't like the idea that they have no power and limited food.

The destruction of Seaside NJ's famous boardwalk makes me sad, as I spent all of my teen years at the Jersey Shore.  So many places that were always there, from even before I was aware of the beach,  are gone.

The destruction of the  world famous Atlantic City boardwalk,  which I have walked hundreds of times, and is the backdrop to many amazing casinos is unfathomable to me.  

There is about 80 billion in damages and approximately 30-40 dead. 

We always hear that California is going to suffer amazing damage from earthquakes, and my mother always asks me to move back "home."  I wonder if really, there truly is a safe place to live, when it comes to Mother Nature. 

Sandy.......JUST BITE ME you bitch.
