This week NYC went through some rough times. Last year it was Irene and she was a flake and didn’t show up as planned but Sandy came and went as expected leaving many without power, water and for some even a home. It is sad but true that you really don’t know what you got until you have lost it all. Although I had to evacuate my building that suffered from flooding downtown, I am grateful and appreciative to have friends to take me in and offer me a home. There are still so many people living suffering from Sandy and I hope they too will find shelter soon. Hopefully I’ll be able to go back to my apartment soon but for now, I’m off to SoCal to get a break from the East Coast and continue with school priorities. Sandy was the worst natural disaster to hit NYC but I have no doubt that the city will recover and come back ten times stronger.
