The devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy this week in the Northeast has been nothing short of historic. Many of us here at Scripps Networks Interactive have witnessed on television from afar the unfolding of Sandy’s wrath, while others in our New York City and Chevy Chase, Md. offices have experienced a first-hand account of her destruction.
