Super Storm Sandy by Danielle C.
On October 29, 2012 hurricane Sandy made landfall on New Jersey. It was not her first or her last stop but it was a hit pretty badly. Atlantic City Boardwalk was literally chewed up and spit out by Hurricane Sandy and still her appetite hungered for more. It left 2.8 million people in the Northeast without power and devastated so many others who lost family members, friends and belongings. Some people can’t believe the way others reacted to losing power. “So many people have lost more and we are complaining about a tiny power outage!” said one person I asked.
Some still have not recovered from it almost 3 weeks later. Many people have gotten power back thankfully. Others have no home to complain about power outages. They have to be living with others or in shelters. The “insult to injury” as the Nor-Easter was called came about a week later. The Nor-Easter had mixed feelings from the public. School officials prepared for more setbacks (didn’t hap[en) and individuals without living arrangements got ready to take a hit. Kids though got ready for a little bit of snow by getting their throwing arm ready. For most hurricane Sandy is long forgotten but others wish that after this much time they could say the same.
