Man cannot influence in this respect the atomic forces of Nature...
Nature has a power all of it's own and all we can do is watch as it works it's way. Sometimes we get spared and other times the devastation it leaves behind is so terrible that it may take years to recover. Hurricane Sandy was a terrible storm. Causing more damage than Irene. Today millions of people are without power and homes....
Scenes from NYC. Unlike Florida, NY is not prepared for this. Wall Street was shut down for 2 days. The Airport closed, the city is in a standstill. This is not normal for New York, the city that never sleeps.
For some reason everyone loves NY.
"One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years"
Meanwhile, here in Fort Lauderdale we have erosion of our beaches. As Arvid and I cruised along A1A (the beach road) we saw quite a lot of damage. Here are a few pictures I took.
This is terrible, but I know from previous disasters that people are stronger than we know. We humans are very resilient. and it takes more than a storm to bring us to our knees. It is during times like these that people pull from strenghts they never knew they had.
It's time again for a nation to come together and help each other overcome this tragedy, and we will....
It's time again for a nation to come together and help each other overcome this tragedy, and we will....
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot
