Hurricane Sandy
Although I have lived in Australia since 2005, I am a native of Texas, USA. My parents were childhood sweethearts raised in New Jersey. When I was a kid, we made car trips from wherever in the USA that my dad was stationed at the time via the US Air Force back to New Jersey to visit relatives. I vividly remember my little brother getting a spanking for misbehaving on the steps of St Patricks Cathedral in New York City. I remember when I was young and we visited the Empire State Building and there was lots of drama that day. Someone was trying to jump! We all thought it was a movie being filmed, but it wasn't. I remember being gobsmacked that the Statue of Liberty was GREEN in real life!! Most of all, I remember the Boardwalk, a famous place to wander and eat and go on the rides. I still have family in Edison, New Jersey, and extended family in the area too. The photos on the news are painful to watch and I just hope everyone comes through ok. hugs to all. debbie
