We’ve been saddened and shocked by the horrible devastation that hurricane Sandy left in her wake yet we are left inspired by the resilience and camaraderie of the people who have been so deeply effected by the aftermath.  This week we’d like you all to submit your best photos that illustrate the devastating effects weather can cause.
