Seeing the light in a perfect storm
LinkedIn
June 04, 2020
Remember being stuck right in the middle of a storm? Lights are out, thunder is loud, rain is pounding, there might even be some vibrations in the house. In 2013 I recall being on the 40th floor in NYC with the building swinging back and forth under the power of Sandy, the entire family sleeping in the same room to comfort each other. You have no idea about when it will stop, your heart is racing, time is almost suspended, you may have never seen anything like this but by experience you know that it will pass and that life will resume again.
