Hurricane hit home lots of people, and places all over. Among those places and people, was the South Street Seaport Museum, located in Seaport, New Jersey. But someone came to their rescue, and anonymous, and made out a $500,000 check, to help in the cost of repairing the damages of the museum. I can relate to what these people are going through, with the museum, because during one of the tornadoes that took place her in Arkansas a few years ago, blew down many trees around our home, and left a total mess. One of the trees nearly hit our house, but barely missed us. But, around the city, there were homes that had been destroyed, along with buildings as well. The cost, to fix everything, was probably more than I would ever imagine it to be. For the museum, the check added to the $750,000 already made in contributions to help. Here, in Arkansas, there were contributions to help rebuild as well, but not as many as the people in Seaport.
Volunteers and staff helped, by spending many weeks cleaning the museum and it's shops. But, sadly, officials still expect that it will cost at least another $2 million, to fix and replace all of the equipment that was damaged, along with moving the new equipment to a higher level in the museum as well. In Arkansas, the damages that were made during the tornadoes, were able to be fixed, but were still at a highly cost. Eventually, give or take a few years, everything that was destroyed, was repaired of the damages, and was running smoothly as it was before. I can see, that when something like a natural disaster, hits around here, there will be some damage. Even though it may take a while to fix, it will get done, because I know that we can help. And when it's done, we admire what we see, what we've accomplished, and then everyone just goes back to the normal days, as if nothing ever happened. I have a feeling that South Street Seaport Museum, when it's finished with it's repairs, will begin to be that way, too, along with the other homes and buildings that were destroyed, by Hurricane Sandy. I just hope, that when people are going about their lives again, that they will look around them, around the places that were destroyed at first. I hope that they look at them, and see at what they've accomplished. To see that they have built themselves back up, and to know, that when something like this happens, that they can always push through, and get themselves back up, when they've been brought down.
