An 80-foot Norway spruce that made it through Superstorm Sandy is getting a chance to shine when it's scheduled to be lit as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
The tree, which will be lit Wednesday night, comes from the Mount Olive, N.J., home of Joe Balku. Balku lost power and other trees during the storm at his residence about an hour outside of Manhattan.
