Answer: We got through them all. And we are still here.

I PROMISE you. Sandy won't be any different. People will get new cars and new homes. Gas will be readily available once again.  Everyone's electricity will be restored.

And we will know Who really has "Power".

וזכרת את השם אלקיך כי הוא הנותן לך כח לעשות חיל

We also learned how kind so many people can be.

People are going through horrible times but with a lot of Emunah and optimism they will get through it.

With a lot of complaining and pessimism we will make things worse than they already are:-).

Pessimism - OUT! Let it be washed away by the storm.
