In the days to come I’ll be blogging on another site about this, but for now enjoy these visuals of what I enjoyed when waking up the morning after Hurricane Sandy struck. “Waking up” is a simple explanation, of course, but I’ll tell the full story later. For now, here is what I saw when I opened my bedroom window in the morning:

Pretty wild, huh? Those were the calm moments after the storm, from someone who was very, very lucky compared to many friends and family at the Jersey Shore.
Cheers!
