Daylight Dawns on the Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy

In a "quick update" post first thing this morning, I remarked that daylight was about to dawn on the aftermath of Sandy.  As we all feared, it did not reveal a pretty sight.  Here's is just a small sampling of the photos coming in from across the region:

I will continue to pull aside some of the more telling photos and/or videos over the coming hours and days and will post them in additional updates.

Our thoughts and prayers will certainly remain with the folks across the Northeast who are only just beginning to pick up the pieces after Hurricane Sandy.

If you would like to help the folks in this region and are unable to do so physically, please consider making a donation to the American Red Cross or another reputable charity.
