Nightmarish scenes left in Sandy's wake

The reports on NEW YORK'S WCBS 880 RADIO are chilling in their detail and nightmarish in their scope in the wake of HURRICANE SANDY.
Flooded areas have been called "war zones," with double-digit deaths, thousands of trees toppled onto structures and cars, fires burning out of control and out of reach of firefighters, travel paralyzed and millions without power.
I just pray survivors are comforted, and that recovery is swift.
