Closed since October 2012, Liberty Island opened today for the public. Super storm Sandy blew in with an eight foot surge of water.
America's most symbolic statue stood tall and proud as the land beneath her feet was being ripped apart.
I've had the privilege to visit her a couple times and each time she takes my breath away. I've stood top of Rock Center and you can see her standing tall in the harbor. She shines her light for all to see.
I can only imagine what was going through her mind as hurricane Sandy was raging at her. She's a tough lady...
