I guess I'm a cold hearted son of a nag. I don't want to hear people crying when the big one wipes out LA... And far as I've seen, the major impact of Sandy on NJ versus here is simply we don't live on the freaking ocean. It's horrible people are suffering, but at the same time... when I read people mourning two idiots who put a generator in their home and died of carbon monoxide poisoning as "victims of Sandy"? Okay... There's a reason I love this area, and its exactly because unless an asteroid destroys the planet, we don't need to worry about natural disasters. I'm sure the Romans living in Pompeii loved the pretty mountain sightlines, too.
My inlaws live in Passiac county- nowhere near the ocean and they got nailed (multiple trees down, indefinite power outage)
