This is someone Fin and I know....a member here...
He's kind of on the sidelines and doesn't post much....

Nick in the story is his cousin...This is a first-person account of a lifelong resident of Lavalette, and how he almost died during Sandy..

I believe this was also printed in Readers' Digest as well.....
