Hurricane Sandy

I am from NJ and most of my friends and relatives are still there. I have been concerned for awhile about the trend toward stronger storms on the coast. There will be more like this. Anyone w/a house near the ocean is asking for trouble. In other counrties, they know to put houses near water on stilts; why havent we learned that yet? I sincerely hope this will remind people how fragile our lives and our systems(utilities etc) are. I hope that they will remember to stock-pile basic items. Consider moving inland and to higher ground. I was guided to NM by dreams and signs. I know I am safer here. There is much more destruction to come. Please prepare- for yourself, your pets and your neighbors.
