I live in Brooklyn and NY is doing well, but these photos look as if we are down for the count. The areas near water were hit hard, also consider these homes do have insurance (at least I hope) and there is Government assistance. If you know someone in NY NJ or elsewhere, shoot them an email or call to find out first hand. The news has been selling the gloom and loom for the last 3 days. I even went out in the storm (about 4pm) and the Chinese Restaurant was open along with the neighborhood Bodega (this is owned by Arabs). Later that night the winds did get pretty strong, but here where I am one tree (which was dead) and that I saw got knocked down. Hurricane Sandy will be remembered for ALL the havoc it caused, but it is still no where near the devastation that Hurricanes have caused in many southern states.
That being said there are still victoms and loss, if you want to help contact: Red Cross.org Hurricane Aid Save the Children.org/Donate to the Hurricane Sandy Salvation Army Disaster Relief 2012
