Sandy Has Broken Our Hearts

Sunday, November 4, 2012

Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc in New Jersey. I took these photos today in Nutley, New Jersey, where a tree came down on a house. From what I understand the homeowners were not hurt. Of course they cannot live in the house until the tree is removed.

Here are some heartbreaking videos about Sandy:

And there’s supposed to be a Nor’easter coming this week.

I just want to cry.

Here are some articles about the tragedy:

I think all of us in Jersey and NY and probably in many other places across the USA have cried, looking at the aftermath of Sandy.
We were lucky -- just some roofing and gutters gone -- but the widespread flooding, the trees down, the wires down, the gas shortages, and most especially the homes and businesses ruined ... and the lives damaged or lost -- it really is unimaginable. So let's all give ourselves permission to have a good cry ... and get on with the cleanup and rebuilding. Red Cross, Salvation Army, and many religious organizations can all use funds. And there are ways to give time, too -- NJ has a hotline for volunteer opportunities.

Keep praying, and giving.

My prayers are with all the people who sustained injury or damage from Sandy. I don't think too many people believed that it would be as bad as it was.

Yes, it is just heartbreaking! Luckily we are ok - still without power but we are fine. My heart goes out to all those people who lost everything. This was one monster of a storm.

The ocean is a fickle thing...lovely on a calm summer day and scary as hell in a storm.

The devestation wrought by Sandy is unbelievable. My thoughts are with all those on the east coast, especially where the weather has already turned cold, or about to get colder. My blog

im so sorry for what happened... this kind of things humbles us and makes us closer to each other and to God.

The photos have been almost too much to take in. Hope you are safe.

Sandy certainly reeked havoc on your area and my thoughts and prayers have been with all of you. My daughter lives just out of New York City and her home had a huge oak tree come crashing through. No one was hurt, thank God.

I'm so sorry, that storm has left so much devastation, sending prayers and positive thoughts to everyone in the northeast

Such devastation, I hope you and your loved ones are safe! I lived in Ortley Beach and then Seaside Park years ago. Both of my old homes are now gone. It's just heart wrenching. Stay strong!

Thanks for stopping by, I pray for all of us who where effected by this storm. It is going to take so much to rebuild and restore the damaged areas. Like the Shores of Jersey, my home in Rockaways, NY and all along the coast line has been devastated. We have lost so much, yet I will restore even better than before.
