After Hurricane Sandy Struck land earlier this week, it caused massive
devastation to certain areas close to the water as well as surrounding areas. The damage was well advertised and people
tried to prepare for it as best they could.
When Mother Nature strikes there are some things that cannot be
prevented no matter what we do. This
massive natural disaster caused destruction all along the upper east coast and
even into Canada claiming more than 40 lives in the United States and Canada,
including 18 in the city. A wild fire
rampaged more than 100 houses in Breezy Point Queens.
The storm continued into the Midwest vastly
weaker than when it made landfall in New Jersey on Monday night. Now we are in the process of healing from the
destruction that occurred. President
Obama approved disaster declaration for New York and New Jersey, making them
eligible for federal assistance while rebuilding. He promises all available resources for the
recovery efforts. Rescuers continue to
look for survivors in the wet rubble in places like Atlantic City and other
effected areas. Mayor Bloomberg stated
that around 7,000 trees had been knocked down in city parks, and has officially
canceled the parade in Greenwich Village, which is the first time in the
parade’s 39-year history. New York’s
famous subway system suffered the worst damage of its 108-year history and
faced one its longest shutdowns ever because the effects of the storm were so
much worse than expected.
Airports as
well as the LIRR and public buses have suffered significant amounts of damage
making public transportation almost impossible for a short period of time. Flooding was so bad that rescue crews had to
travel in boats and other motorized watercrafts. This is the worst natural disaster since
hurricane Katrina; it is going to take a very long time to completely recover
from a travesty such as this. All
available resources are being utilized to remedy the effects of the storm.
