Every now and then there's always a storm unite as all as one to overcome it together. First the Tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina, Tsunami of 2011, and now it is Hurricane Sandy. With a cost of over 45 billion dollars in damage over, Sandy has by far been the worst storm to ever hit the tri-state area. In my short-lived life I could have never imagined living through a tragedy like Hurricane Sandy. The tri-state area was obviously not prepared for the storm. Even if we were prepared for it, we were still going to lose. Nature always wins. The storm took us all by surprise and definitely demonstrated the infinite force that mother earth could use against us. This storm showed us once more that we are mortals living in a world that we do not fully understand. And we always fear what we do not understand. Even with our fancy new toys that we call technology, we still cannot predict the full capacity of Mother Nature. In the book, The Open Boat, Crane claims that, "When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples  .  .  .  . Thereafter he knows the pathos of his situation.  This quote relates a lot to Super storm Sandy because it describes a higher form of being other than us, and how we will always look for that high being in our time of need. I get that, we all do. When we are at our lowest of lows, we are always searching for answers on why this is happening. We need someone to blame, we usually blame "God  but its usually our fault and we don't want to admit it. When Sandy hit my beach house, I lost everything. I didn't know what to do. I searched for ways to recover my old life but I couldn't figure out a way. I was angry at God for many months, but it was truly my fault for not getting hurricane insurance. I had to sell the land for 1/100th of the cost and it was not a good investment.
