Thank You all for Your #Sandy Help

I was one of the thousands of people who was hit by #sandy and suffered along with hundreds of thousands in the Metro NY and NJ area. I posted frequently on Facebook to share the abrupt change in our life, and give an account of what many of us were going through.
We had gas to cook and  make hot water for showers but no power. When was the last time you did not have the convenience of electricity. I can tell you it was not fun.
I want to make it clear that while were inconvenienced and out of our element there were so many others who did and are still really suffering from loss of home, pets and even lives. I feel for them.
But the man purpose of this post is to thank the many individuals who helped clean up and restore power and order to a chaotic area.
I happened to talk with workers from all over the Northeast who helped LIPA get power on. They worked 16 hours a day, many without a good meal or even a "thank you". Well I say "thank you" again to all of you.
I also had the chance to run into members of the DMAT team at JFK airport on their way home. Delta Airlines was very helpful and accommodating to the 200 or so men and women I met there.

Here is one man from the #DMAT team, direct medical assistance team, part of the government dedicated to providing emergency and disaster medicine throughout the state and country. He was one of many that were situated in the Nassau Medical Center where up to 800 displaced people spent days waiting for power and services in #NassauCounty, NY. He was leaving from JFK on Thursday along with about 200 others returning home to many different states. I would like to thank him and his team for contributing to the medical care of those in the area shelters.
If you would like to support these people please #SHARE on #Facebook  or Retweet and hopefully it will eventually find it's way back to many of these humanistic people.
