It's amazing what the force of Sandy did to so many different things. The iconic boardwalk in Atlantic City was destroyed, at least parts of it. My beloved Ocean City, MD's fishing pier lost 50 yards but the boardwalk is fine. 8 million people were without power, my family was without power for 27 hours (I'm in the beautiful suburbs of Philly) as well. Thankfully not too many lives were lost in the storm (even thought just one is one too many) but my thoughts & prayers are with the family & friends who did lose loved ones. I'm thankful that Six Flags was spared & the animals of the Safari are ok. Now is going to be a time of rebuilding for those directly impacted by the loss of their homes and or loved ones.
