Long Island is having a rough go of it after Sandy (and they're not covering them on the news much; Manhattan and the Jersey shore areas are getting most of the attention). My friend posted this on facebook (it's not hers; she does live on LI but she is well above sea level and has power; her new house that they are in the process of buying was flooded, though). If you have to choose between laughing or crying, laughing is generally your best bet.
