“Clobbered” was the headline in this morning Seattle Times, referring to Sandy, the “Super Storm,” that’s pounding the northeast. I just saw images and read a figure that there may well be 20-90 billion in damages as well as continued loss of life. What a crusher. Wanted everyone who is affected over there – including your families and friends – to know that our hearts and thoughts are with you. We hope that the death toll rises no more and that any of the missing or needing rescue find help arrive speedily.
The gallery above is but a fraction of what’s out there. If there are other equally powerful images that we’ve missed, please feel free to share in the comments below.
To those not in harm’s way: If you’re reading this, have ever enjoyed content on this blog or are compelled to help, please join me in donating to the Red Cross here now. $5, $10, $1000 whatever you can give.
Huge debt of gratitude to those journalists and news organizations who are brave enough to be capturing thse images in NYC, Washington and surroundings and sharing them with the world. Thank you to the photographers who are out there enduring the risk and for raising our awareness. Your photos, video and stories are keeping us connected as the event unfolds. Without your courage and commitment the rest of us would have but the faintest of notions as to Sandy’s destructive power.
Thanks and keep holding on.
I must show some appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of such a instance. Right after searching throughout the the web and meeting suggestions which are not helpful, I figured my life was well over. Existing without the presence of answers to the issues you’ve sorted out as a result of the site is a critical case, and the ones which may have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across the blog. Your main expertise and kindness in touching all the pieces was vital. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a solution like this. I’m able to now relish my future. Thanks for your time so much for this skilled and result oriented help. I won’t think twice to suggest your blog to anybody who needs to have support about this subject matter.

Just found this blog and love it. As a fellow (amateur) photographer this is the kind of site that helps us all out.
So as a fellow photographer I appreciate the work that has gone in behind the camera the take this shot (walking in the rain, protecting the camera, getting wet, being cold) to get the perfect shot.
And as a Brit, I love the weather!
We might moan about the weather here in the UK – but most of the time we don’t realise just how lucky we are.
Here is a couple of pictures I took in Red Hook, and Dumbo the day after it hit. http://500px.com/acebouch/sets/hurricane_sandy
