Hurricane Sandy.

When  Hurricane  Sandy  struck  I  was  safe  at  home.  It  was  a  great  experience.  But  only  because  I  was  safe.  Nothing  alarming  happened  to  me.  My  lights  flickered  once  in  awhile,  but  that  is  no  big  deal.  The  only  lasting  effect  was  that  I  felt  my  house  shaking.  I  am  glad  that’s  all  that  happened.  I’m  glad  that  I  still  have  a  roof,  running  water,  and  electricity.  I  could  have  lived  without  electricity.  It  is  a  shame  that  so  much  people  were  forced  to  abandon  their  homes  and  return  to  see  it  as  just  a  pile  of  debris.  People  have  said  this  was  the  worst  storm  in  quite  awhile.  That  was  alarming.  A  storm  of  Sandy’s  caliber  hitting  a  place  such  as  New  York?  That  I  felt  was  catastrophic.
