The warnings about Hurricane Sandy were clear. This storm would be powerful and would mimic "the perfect storm". Hurricane Sandy, named just a few days before her landfall arrival, and the other weather events on the east coast combined forces. Hurricane Sandy, aka the Super Storm, lived up to the reputation that preceded her. She became a super storm that dumped plenty of sand and left destruction behind. She huffed and she puffed and she blew many houses down.
Warning systems are important when we choose to live at the water's edge. Here in a densely populated area of the east coast, many of us love to get our feet wet on a regular basis. Living near the vast ocean gives a sense of wide open space. Having lived inland for several years, the need to feel that openness of the ocean is palpable.
