The Storm by Edvard Munch is on display at the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) in Manhattan. In the Munch painting the lights are still on in the house which was not the case last night for thousands of households during SANDY. This SuperStorm affected an estimated fifty million people and should bring the subject of climate change to the forefront which was absent during recent debates. I was impressed with our civic leaders' performances as they gave up being politicians for the duration.
It was heartwarming to see ambulances from Indiana and electrical workers from Tennessee arriving in New Jersey. Lastly, it is sad to see the millions being spent by SuperPacs on negative political ads which monies could be better spent on disaster cleanup. I salute all the professionals involved in this extraordinary effort.
