Hurricane Sandy was a bigger storm than expected. It seemed to have left millions of people without any electricity or even water in their homes. Not to mention, the enormous amount of flooding throughout the states that were most effected. I was one of those millions of people without power for almost 3 days. It was terrifying at first because without Internet, light, and telephone, it's hard to be connected with others for news updates on whats going on and it's even harder to find something to do when you're so accustomed to technology for entertainment. While my iPhone still had battery, I took a picture of basically what I did for majority of the time. Reading "Jane Eyre" by candle light on my bedside table.
Strangely, (don't hold this against me) I liked having no connection to the outside world. I got a peace of mind, slept extremely early those nights, and did a lot of open-minded thinking. It was nice while it lasted. On the other hand, I am happy I am connected to the world again.
