Hurricane Sandy: Super Storm Slams East Coast States

[@luckysharmsy]

It hit New Jersey so bad. l lost power for 10 days and a lot of people in my town had to take refuge in my high school. The immediately following the storm we had a blizzard and I remember being so cold at night because we had no power or any form of heat. But it really was a time where the community came together.

[@QueenAnj]

Same, my town had no power for 2 weeks and our school was a shelter for the elderly. I came back here because of the houstin hurricane and this brought back memories for real

[@kobyschechter8163]

My family was very fortunate. We only lost power for a day. My grandparents who lived a mile away from us only lost their internet. They never lost their lights. Our house suffered no damage. We had a tree in our backyard fall on our house from Hurricane Irene in 2011. We had another backyard tree fall on a different part of our roof during Hurricane Isais in August 2020. Our roof sustained heavy damage from it. During Irene I was in our guest room (now my dads office) going through some stuff and I heard a big crash and I was like “what was that?” I came up the stairs and I saw through one of our kitchen picture windows a tree on the house and I immediately got my parents. It was after the storm came through and the tree succumbed to the damage it sustained during the storm. During Isais DURING the storm I was with my brother and we were talking with my dad in his office and out of the blue a we heard a huge crash on the roof and we immediately went outside and realized the other tree fell right over our heads. It fell on the part of the roof where my parents room is. When we did the cleanup after Isais we had the utility crew cut down whatever was left of the tree. I’ll never forget that.

[@Itsmiserable]

I really really appreciate these reporters of the risk they take, just to enlighten us on the latest groundbreaking news all around the world (not only this particular devastating storm) Hats off! There should be celebrated a reporters day internationally as well to encourage them.

My friend was in hurricane sandy... and I kind of feel guilty about not being born yet, not being able to experience it with her... but I’m also kind of glad I wasn’t born yet, being able to be safe. But the story she told me, was no one died, but when I watched this I had a few questions. It is now March 17, 2021. I want to learn how to prevent people from getting hurt in these things, especially in the case of a tornado. I also heard that a bomb exploded to, which is devastating. I hope no one is still recovering from there injuries, and they are all safe now.

My respect to those reporters who were willing to go out there and let us knew what happened.

[@sunny.5676]

Hey, I was an infant at the time, and I lived damn near the water where it happened. My parents have told me that when it hit, power went out. Obviously. But the water almost reached our door.(we lived upstairs at the time, we’ve moved though.)They’ve also told me that a car was up in a tree. Yes, up in a tree. After the storm passed, people were lining up their cars and opened the doors so we could crawl through. Fun fact, the picture where the man was walking in the water holding his dog, happened on MY BLOCK! I know right? Crazy stuff.

(including my neighbor) i'm now 17, turning 18 in about a month and 1/2, actually 'bout the same age my parents were when they experienced hurricane gloria in 1985. looking back, i'm so thankful we didn't have it worse.

I am from Pennsylvania on the eastern side of it and after it was over we walked down to the creek near our house and the creek and it was like 1/4 of a mile wide and it is usually 15 feet wide. And the one guard rail on the left side of the bridge was washed away.

It's being liked because it's providing information about the storm.

I live in tornado alley, where without warning , strike late evening or during the night. Nature is something to not take lightly, if I lived where hurricane strike I'd get hotel inland until the Strom passes. A tornado 🌪 just a cloud then with little warning can cause immense destruction. One side of the street houses are leveled the other left untouched, can flip train cars off the tracks, drive blade of grass into a tree. Both are amazing extreme forces of nature.

[@subscribeforcheese]

You've got that right my friend. Hurricane Sandy a catagory 1 hurricane knocked my home out of power for 10 days straight. No school for 16 days. Imagine Katrina came a cat 1 aswell but with the strength of a 5 the northeast isin't used to what would happen in these situations resulting in most of our property getting destroyed. The boardwalks for example would be rumble but the houses would be debris and the water would wipe out any city or town close to the Atlantic. We would be Finished.

The northeast isn't used to storms like this, plus, we were hit with two storms last year. Remember the October snowstorm and Hurricane Irene? Coneticutt went over a month without power in the freezing cold, I know you guys get Hurricanes all the time but at least you know how to deal with them, plus, Sandy is one of the worst storms that have hit America since Katrina. We were even hit with a snowstorm after Sandy hit.

I'm located almost at the center of Long Island (east,west,north,south). If you live within 10 minutes drive at the the shore line (near sea level) or had too many old trees on your property - then you have a real catastrophe. But to say a total catastrophe means 100% catastrophe. That's not the case for NJ NY or CT.

[@joeelven2846]

And don't forget the fact that in a twenty mile stretch of real estate in joplin, more people died. Having known people who died in Joplin, I can't help but wonder why it is that hurricanes are always remembered, but few outside of SW MO will ever utter the event of the tornado ever again.
