The past few days we have seen the largest storm in Atlantic history rip the East coast apart. Boardwalks, bridges, jobs and homes all lost in a matter of hours due, in most part, to water surges never seen before. My home town, just a few miles away from Seaside heights, was ravaged with flooding and destroyed power lines. Some folks are still without power, and may continue to be without for a week, if not more. Here in Philadelphia, we experiences mild flooding and a few downed trees, but managed to scrape by without much damage. Nothing like we see on the shore. So how can you help the victims of Sandy?
