Hurricane Sandy

On October 29th, Hurricane Sandy made landfall over New York City.  We waited at home, prepared as we could be with groceries, flash lights and bottled water.  Thankfully, besides being scared at the howling winds outside our window, our home was left unaffected.  But many parts of our city and state were devastated. The storm surge flooded the coast, and brought NYC to a standstill.  The entire lower half of Manhattan lost power, and the subway system was completely flooded. There was no school or work for an entire week.  It was nice to be home spending unexpected time together.  We baked and played games, and  attempted to be helpful by gathering supplies for so many of our friends who lost so much.  We hope that everyone recovers quickly. 

Jane's Carousel seem to float on the East River as the storm surge took over Dumbo

The Long Beach boardwalk, so many good memories.

After the water retreated, walls of sand were left, They look like giant snow banks.

You could not tell the tracks from the platform on the subway
