Hurricane Sandy wreaked so much havoc in New York, New Jersey, CT, DE, Pennsylvania and up the east coast causing billions of dollars in damage and so many lives uprooted. Being without power is a challenge for everyone, especially seniors, many of whom have a harder time getting supplies in advance of a natural disaster.
The best thing for people to do is to help their neighbors and make sure they're okay. The wonderful thing about New Yorkers is how they help each other in a crisis.
If normally people mind their own business and try not to interfere with others, when a disaster happens, they become more friendly and helpful and realize that we're all in the same boat together.
I hope that the devastation subsides, the subways and power get back to normal, and that the people who are displaced return to their homes soon.
The most important thing is to remain calm. Reading by candlelight or flashlight might be a good experience for those so used to laptops and iPhones.
It's a time to step back, take a deep breath and appreciate what you have. Just think, it could have been much worse.
