This picture is NOT from Sandy. This has been in circulation for some time now. A friend of mine from NY posted it after the Dereco storm this past summer.

Please watch the History Channel about the Men Who Built America. There are many under this 7 and all of their destruction. Frick and Frack - what does that mean?

Hey Michele K K . I Hope your comments were meant in jest. Ever if this is true, I still think you need to see a therapist.

What an idiot MicheleKayKolano is!!! Yes a person named Sandy was pissed and did this to all the bad people of New York and New Jersey!! There are more good than bad people living here!! Such a dumb statement to make!! Maybe a huge storm will come to your area and do much damage just to try to get rid of you!!

Maybe someone named sandy in real life was pissed and went to heaven and decided to mess with the weather and take out new york and new jersey because they sure do SIN there a lot and have mob's and crime and gangs and drugs. Sandy has decided clean house!

Much of this country started in New York. People in Washington, D.C. took awhile to turn their glasses to the crimes of that time : do you see the sign yet of the end times? here again : see it : : see what time it is :

I think that the cast of the Jersey shore pissed off the weather gods or something

I thought all flights to the New York area had been canceled for the past few days. Was this guy in his own private plane? Or is this a phony photo?

Hi Elvira!

it is confirmed that we are our brothers keeper. Everyone you meet whether physically impaired, extremely beautiful and talented or just a humble beautiful person . Freedom is knowing your heart and to trust your inner feeling -to only be pure in your thoughts. Not envy, hate, or feel alone. God knows our needs and turmoil He will send you a brother, sister, friend to teach you the way to peace in your heart and on earth until He calls us to Heaven. We should seek only the good ,loving, God. If you don't believe in God. Remember God believes in you

Amen to that! Why God said to love our neighbors as ourselves. That means ANYONE IN need. If people see someone who need help they should help them. :-) God bless you for these words! Take care.
