The storm has gone, the rivers rized,
the ocean blew away the prize
of Atlantic City and the beaches
in a way I hope will teach us
not to mess with Mother Nature and,
believe it when they say Escape Her!

Now to clean up and assess it,
and give thanks for all who met it
and helped the rest of us carry on
and give thanks for all who met it
and helped the rest of us carry on
through the night and into Dawn.
It was the proverbial "dark and stormy night" with much anxiety all around. What would we find in the morning? Thankfully, I and my family and friends are all ok. No damage of siginificance, not even power lost for most of us. Very many others have had significant, life-altering damage, injury, and even death.
It is far too early to know what the long-term effects will be but as in all such disastrous times, there will be tragedy, comedy, and triumph to be seen. For now, gratitude for what didn't happen is foremost in my heart and mind.
