Sandy, as the first hurricane that I’ve lived through, you
sure did make your mark. Showing your first signs on a Friday, moving in
throughout the weekend and extending your stay through Monday and Tuesday, you
just wouldn’t go back home to where you belonged.
You visited many of my favorite OBX places, ripping apart
our favorite fishing pier, destroying our old Bonner Bridge and parts of the
historic Mirlo Beach and Hatteras Island, but I thank you for leaving my little
home safe and dry. And you didn’t even take my power, not once. I would have at
least given you that, had you wanted it. I would have traded an hour of two of
power to save the Avalon Pier, but you didn’t ask me. I guess you didn’t have
time, though you spent close to a week at my home before heading north to visit
my friends in Philly and NYC. Please be as kind to them as you were to me.
Oh Sandy, you frankenstorm, did you know that Halloween was
my favorite holiday and that during your visit I burned a frankincense candle just for you?
