After The Storm
We all know the storm has passed most of our areas and maybe back out to sea by now but the damage she left in her wake is very visible! I can only imagine the number of prayers said during the raging storms travel to the place it made the left turn and hit NJ, NY, and the other states in her path! Much damage was seen from beginning to end as was predicted!
We must be grateful the number of lives lost was minimal considering the power this storm carried as predicted! The rescues I feel were a big part of the reason many more lives were saved including the babies being evacuated from the hospitals and carried to safety plus the elder persons in chairs unable to get to shelters on their own! Far as I know or heard in the news not one baby life was lost that's a true blessing in itself thanks to the many first responders again!
Some of them lost their own homes while helping others in putting their jobs first so we owe them many thanks and prayers! Without communities working together nothing can ever get done by just a couple people when this type of situation presents itself! All of them were the super heroes in my mind! There were many ambulance drivers and attendants carrying the babies to safety hours after hours without losing one child!
Now we can only hope the power is restored in due time by the many power companies coming from many other states to the relief of the local power company to perform dangerous work only they know how it should be done to avoid lost of life! We depend on electrical power for so many things to be operational and without it we can't even make phone calls on cell phones to see if people are OK!
I think today we will know if any of our members here were affected by the storm from Florida to Maine!
