Trees Down

My daughter V's sister-in- law just posted 35 pictures walking around her neighborhood in Long Island.  The devastation is too hard to comprehend.   It appears that a large percentage of the large, mature trees could not hold on, and did not survive the fury of Sandy.

  The good news is that the people we love are unharmed,  though probably frazzled and frayed at the nerves!   Both V and Matt's house survived, as did Matt's parents.  Thank goodness for that!!

Still not much power there,  but Matt's office on Long Island has power, so they could charge up their various devices, smart phones, etc.   Daughter said she was going to the gym, because they had power.  So there must be pockets.

I'm sure the area will never look the same, and oh how long it will take to clean up!

She must have stopped by V's house.   This one made me smile, rather than cry!!  (though it may be too dark to really see.   Cooking by helmet on a gas stove.
