Denville NJ Flooding from Hurricane Irene

Dear my friend,

Hope you have a great summer!

As you may know, Hurricane Irene this last weekend caused tremendous damages in New Jersey - floods, downed trees, power outages, road closings, highway collapsing, traffic delay. My house was on the high ground and was fine except for downed tree branches and limbs. On the other hand, the downtown and playfields where Rockaway River was flowing by were a total disaster.

Here is a video shot on that day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyj7mTKoEVU

Many of our beloved restaurants and shops were under water. Now the water has receded. Store owners and homeowners need to clean up and pick up pieces from there. My heart and sympathy go to them and wish them recover from the loss and damages as soon as possible.

For my readers in NJ and other areas affected by Hurricane Irene, I wish you the same in recovering from your damages very soon.

On the other side of the planet where my wife is on a business trip in Asia, she's experienced typhoons (tropical storms similar to hurricane but in Pacific ocean) and unheard-of hail storm and tornadoes in her town. Isn't this something?

I feel blessed and grateful for not having to suffer from huge damages. The Mother Nature is so powerful. We should appreciate our life and appreciate and protect our environment.

Before the Labor day;s long weekend ahead here in US, I wish you and your family are safe and spend quality time together.
