New Jersey

A few people have asked me if the place on the Jersey Shore whereI spent my summer working as a lifeguard was affected by Hurricane Sandy. Yes. Seaside Heights is a mess. It has been one of the places most affected by the hurricane. The lovely little beach town where I spent my summer, with its cute little food places, ice cream stands, pier rides and arcade games has been destroyed. Thankfully, everyone that I have spoken to is okay, despite a lack of electricity, but a lot of their homes are destroyed. I don't even know where you begin when your house, your home, has been destroyed. Once you've thanked god you're alive, how do you start again? Looking back on this...
