Frankenstorm

Soooo...I 've survived the great Frankenstorm of 2012. Here in my home, of 1 year and some months the storm did damage, just lost power for three hour. I move from New York to Pennsylvania and from the news reports Southern NY (Manhattan,Staten Island, the broughs) all the way up to Westchester County, NY have been trounced. There are fundraisers,telethons, FEMA and the Red Cross assistance to help the victims who have been flooded out and burned out of their homes. The news footage (CNN,6ABC and Good Morning America ) which I have watched for days is filled with despair for the aftermath and hope for the recovery. I feel sorrow for the losses of homes ,businesses and lives...but I also grieve for the animals...wild and domestic who were of course unprepared and must rely on us humans to show mercy and help them.
