Hurricane Sandy came through and devastated our community. Sea Gate, Manhattan Beach and Sheepshead Bay neighborhoods in Brooklyn were among the hardest hit places. The damage is unimaginable, over 200 houses were flooded or washed out to sea. The winds put telephone poles through windows and the water flooded cars and homes. Some of us were luckier than others, the more fortunate have a house still standing and their families safe. As if the flooding and 90mph winds weren't enough, there were fires sparking all over the place. Local heroes emerged during the storm, braving the hurricane winds, flying objects, downed electrical wires and neck deep, contaminated, rushing ocean water to save their neighbors from their burning homes.

The pictures don't even do it justice, and the experiences many endured are unforgettable, the stories are endless, but we will RECOVER and WE WILL REBUILD.

Things are replaceable but lives lost are not. While my family and I were lucky to survive, there were lives that were lost. To those who have suffered such a horrible loss my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

As of early Wednesday Nov 07 morning, roughly 676,000 were still without power in the Northeast. This is a remarkable drop from the peak of roughly 8.6 million one week ago. Sadly, 112 have been confirmed dead from Sandy in the U.S., including Puerto Rico.

New episodes will come online weekly.
