Electricity and Disaster - Superstorm Sandy devastated New Jersey, New York and East Coast of the United States
Remember Nikola Tesla Father of AC Electricity which is Lighting the World Today

Electricity - we remember the work of Nikola Tesla, "Father of Electricity". Electricity is vital for heat, lights, subways, computers, telephones, gas stations, elevators, and life saving machines. Without the work of Tesla's Alternative Current Electricity, there would be no progress.
Many of the vital systems powered by Tesla's Alternative Current (AC) electricity stopped running because of the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Wide spread flooding and power outages have affected many lifes both during and after this powerful storm.
The Tesla Memorial Society of New York is asking anyone who can help to donate time, money or support to the American Red Cross for helping those affected by this disaster.
