"Hurricane Sandy, one of the largest and fiercest storms to menace the East Coast in years, lost some power but still packed a devastating wallop that slammed into New Jersey on Monday evening with torrential rains, howling winds and widespread flooding. "
-Fredrick Knuckle, Laura Vozzella and Jeremy Borden (Washington Post)For the past week, families have been trying to recover from the brutal Hurricne Sandy. Some families have lost their homes. A few have also last their lives during the storm. Even though the storm was a Category 1, it was a very wide and powerful storm.
"Part of Manhattan's storied skyline went dark as power failed for more than 250,000 customers south of Midtown, some of an estimated 7.5 million people on the eastern seaboard who lost power"
-Fredrick Knuckle, Laura Vozzella and Jeremy Borden (Washington Post)Many families in New York and New Jersey have lost power. But not just light, they have also lost water which is very devastating. My own aunt has also lost power in her home. Some cell phone companies have failed us. So we couldn't get in touch with our loved ones to see if they were okay during the storm.
" The storm also had an impact on politics, as candidates called off campaign events and election officials shut down early voting in some areas."
- Fredrick Knuckle, Laura Vozzella and Jeremy Borden (Washington Post)As started, Hurricane Sandy interfered with the 2012 Presidential Election. Some areas weren't able to hear the debate because they were in highly effected areas of the storm. Also, in some areas people couldn't vote because of the damage that Hurricane Sandy caused.
In Conclusion, Hurricane Sandy has severely effected many families. Some have even lost their homes and are now staying in shelters all over the city. Those who have lost power and water are also staying with loved ones that haven't been effected by the storm. I think that Hurricane Sandy has done much damage to many states and communities.
