The aftermath of sandy

After hurricane sandy..Alhamdulillah we are okay, no damage to our building, still got power and water. Other people not so lucky, some friends have to move to the office, no electricity in their building. Other people are even worse, lost their homes and everything, either burnt down by fire or destroyed by the rising water. They don't have anywhere to go, except for the shelters for a few days but how do they build their home and their life again? Saw one man who went to his mom's house or rather what is left of it, amd all he could salvage was his mom's corningware bowl. One, only one single thing had survived the fire. Some of the people interviewed on tv looked so clueless and overwhelmed by what had happened. They do not know what to do or where to start? They couldn't believe this had happened. Their life as they know it, has been turned upside down, inside out and they have a long road ahead of them to make it right agan, to make it normal again. My heart goes out to them, wish them all the best and hope they have the strength to get up and march on.

  1. When we read the news about Sandy here in Malaysia, it doesn't really sink in (for me, at least)...but when I read it here, from someone who really went through it (although alhamdulillah, you guys were spared of the big hit), baru lah I boleh imagine apa preparation nak kena buat etc..I think I can even feel your suspense!. Good to know that you guys are okay. Alhamdulillah.
