It's been said it's far better to have a neighbor who's near, than a brother who's far away. But in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Americans across the nation have proven to be both the best of neighbors and the strongest of families. This past weekend, AOL and Patch employees took an opportunity to pitch in, packing two tractor trailers worth of food, water and supplies in Dulles, VA, and Baltimore. The donations are headed to Hurricane Sandy-ravaged areas in New Jersey and Long Island. Want to join the relief efforts?

Wellesley Police published a video of damage from Monday's hurricane.

Wellesley Police captured the day's events on video, which has been uploaded to Youtube and published on the police department's website. The 3-minute video depicts shocking footage of massive trees collapsing across streets taking down an abundance of wires. There were three fires in town caused by downed live wires, all shown in the video.

Despite remaining debris from Hurricane Sandy, trick-or-treating is expected to take place tonight.
Though Hurricane Sandy is long gone and much of the debris has been disposed of, there are still some tree limbs on the ground and even some downed power lines making this Halloween particularly precarious. The Wellesley Police Department yesterday issued a note on trick-or-treating tonight in Wellesley. Below is some of the text: Due to the fact that there may still be many sidewalks and roadways that have debris on Halloween night the Wellesley Police Department is encouraging those families and children who go out Trick or Treating to follow these safety suggestions: The note also warns drivers to be cognizant of children and others walking through the streets tonight.
Happy Halloween.
1. The kids are back in school today and a bit of normalcy may return to the community at last. 2. Police have said the town should continue to go about trick-or-treat activities as planned tonight. 3. If you have lots of waste, the RDF will be open until 3:45 p.m. today. 4. Here are some photos from Monday. 5. How bad was Hurricane Sandy for you? Tell us in the comments.
Wellesley’s Municipal Light Plant crews were in action since the first wind gusts of Hurricane Sandy blew until today. Almost no one was without power for very long, how about you?
Hurricane Sandy has come and gone, and it only took the electricity of a few Wellesley residents for a short amount of time. Thanks to Wellesley Municipal Light Plant crews working round-the-clock, nearly everyone had their power back by yesterday at noon. How about you? How long before your lights were back on? (Be sure to tell us which street you live on.)

Residents who need to throw out debris can do so into the afternoon today and tomorrow.

Hurricane Sandy has dominated this week's news. But how did it compare to last year's storm: worse or not quite as bad?
As we come out on the other side of Hurricane Sandy's rain- and wind-lashing of New England yesterday, many of us are still enduring power outages. And in some cases, downed trees and wires. The storm came a year after the so-called 'Snowtober' storm left many Massachusetts communities without power. So which storm do you think was worse – Sandy or Snowtober?
