I was in CT (just outside NYC) when Sandy hit. My area was out of power for about a week, and I remember sitting outside on our porch just after the storm started dying down, looking around and seeing... nothing. I hadn't realized just how many lights there were, even in my tiny little town. As much as that whole experience sucked (being without power, water, etc isn't fun), sitting on the porch and writing a song with my roommate that night is one of my favorite recent memories. Makes me want to go out to the middle of nowhere for a while, just to experience the Real World (TM) again; it's been a long time.
