The Ravages of Sandy

Thousands of homes on the East Coast were not spared from the ravages of Randy in late October, the misery of devastation was everywhere: Hamilton Beach was flooded by feet of water, so was Old Howard Beach and Lindenwood got its share, too when lights started flickering; my apartment could have been flooded to the ceiling, lost everything and going back I would have smelled mold! The first thing I did was Thank God for His endless mercy, realizing that other survivors weren't that lucky as I. Why are these storms more frequent? Are we messing with Mother Nature? Global warming is too scary...winters in New York are getting much warmer! I have witnessed the scariest storm in my lifetime, Glory and Irene compared to Sandy weren't that wild; what's predicted next? It can't be a Universal Deluge, because God promised there wouldn't be another... and where, if that happened, could we find refuge? We'll be swallowed up alive by massive tides and carried far!
