Hurricane Sandy Blogpost

Around the end of October and the beginning of November, a devastating storm named Hurricane Sandy, also referred as 'Frankenstorm' hit. The hurricane ruined alot of houses and alot people, places lost power, broke down and even flooded, many people had to evacuate their destroyed house. The article "Lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy and how we need to apply them everyday" by Roney Cameron states, what happened during and after Hurricane Sandy and how peoples lives has been affected. Roney Cameron talks about the New Yorkers who's lives had changed and all the devastated things that has happened to them. The article "The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy" states the aftermath of hurricane Sandy, and what new Yorkers thought about it, and what they should have done, because alot of New Yorkers were careless about it.

In James Heiser's article "The Aftermath of hurricane Sandy" i found out that New Yorker's referred to the storm as "frankenstorm" because of how deadly Hurricane Sandy was in certain areas. Hurricane Sandy isn't that big, compared to the biggest Hurricane on the charts, Hurricane Sandy was not in the charts, because there were alot more bigger and deadlier Hurricane's before Sandy. This was in the time of politics. Obama put his politics away and worked on Sandy recovery. Sandy was a smaller home compared to Katrina, The people who have lost their homes, their homes will be repaired, but right now they remain at a evacuation center. Sandy wasn't as big as Katrina, but it was still pretty big and left alot of people homeless. There are a lot of people donating to the homeless people which is helping them alot.

In Roney Cameron's article "Lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy and how we need to apply them everyday" was at first introduced about the harm Sandy caused New York, and what happened. The author talks about a person who lost their home, in their point of view, which showed the readers a good idea of how Sandy was like. People went through tough times, they lost alot, and there are many people helping and doing as much as they can to help New York recover. Sandy caused alot of harm and it took a while to fix it. Mayor Bloomberg was a big help, and Obama, put away his political problems and things to help hurricane recovery, Obama is doing alot, and he committed to alot of things that will help New York. During Sandy, there wasn't really alot of political news going around, since everyone was focusing on the recovery of it. Hurricane Sandy was very confusing to some New Yorkers, because some New Yorkers never went through harsh conditions like they did for Hurricane Sandy, and whenever there was a disaster in another country, they completely ignored it, so those New Yorkers weren't ready for Hurricane Sandy because they had never experienced something like it.They now realize how much people were in need. New York needs infrastructure change.

Over all i think all the damage opened the eyes of the New Yorkers who wasn't prepared and that has never prepared for a hurricane. Sandy made people more aware, and they are ready at all times, the people who lost their home will be helped, power will be fixed and so will transit. Sandy made people realize that, there are much more worse storms then it, and people have to go through it and it is in very harsh conditions
