    This hurricane was really life changing. It really reminds me of the day after tomorrow. It was a nightmare to go through. I almost got myself knocked off my feet by the strong winds. It was a scary couple of days for people to go trhough. Even me and love storms like these. But this storm made me stay cuddled up in the bed praying

    What has changed since Sandy? Not much. Yeah the city has an updated disaster plan but do you have one for yourself? All Manhattan people should look into safely prepping. Those candles and a rambunctious 4 year old are a recipe for a house fire. Glad I don't live next door to them. Be safe! I did a discussion of Sandy as my first video on my channel for example of what to expect next time.

      And to think that was the result of a Category-1 without much rainfall. Yes it was during high tide, collided with a nor’easter, and was one of the largest tropical cyclones ever. But i could only imagine a Cat-3 or more with heavy rainfall content, much like what has devastated the Gulf Coast in recent years, making landfall in the Northeast, and how that could actually be worse. To that storm, whenever you come, your name will someday live in infamy.

    Hurricane Sandy was the scariest experience of my life. I was 7 when it happened, and I remember I was in my bedroom, under a blanket. And I was reading comics. But I was worried about my family, because almost my entire family lives in Manhattan. I used my tablet to watch news, and when I saw all the floods and damage, I damn near had a heart attack. Then the next day, I went to New York with my parents, and saw all the damage. It was so painful to look at.
    ...when the fuck did I get so depressing ._.

    I was there when that happened! My rental apartment was on the 26th floor in the Financial District, and we didn't get the memo to leave, so we stayed in the apartment for 2 days before venturing out. Blehhhhh, getting up those stairs, lol. It was fascinating though; the amount of water in basements and coming out of the subway entrances, the people all being kind and helpful. It was actually heartwarming.

      @827Drew Před 4 lety

      The uh 'strom' was indeed pretty bad. It didn't really matter where you were living in NYC or NJ. People in NJ didn't have power for over a week. It was literally millions of homes the power company had to restore. It was a disaster. They had multiple other states going to help out. People as far as Texas. It doesn't get much farther away than that.
      Trust me, no one was ignored. Forget the news clip.

    A lot of the brick and stone buildings of the 19th c. were built after the giant quake which rang church bells in Boston destroyed most of the buildings, which were wood for the most part. 200 people died which was quite a lot considering the population then, but the city was quite devastated and they had to start all over for the most part. I am a former NYer and experienced 2 quakes there and I left.

I was thinking about the guy who loses his boat that he loves so much crying over his loss until he hears about his neighbor who lost his house to the sea, when they both find out about the woman who had her two children ripped from her arms to die and how they realize now they've lost very little.Thanku

    Here on Union Square we had no lights or power. I woke up in the dark, and being the superintendent back then, sprang into action mode. Moments later I heard a tap at my door, thanking God someone was coming by to help, or so I thought. It was my insomniac neighbor downstairs, to whine that my 'heavy walking was keeping him awake.." Whatever. I went out and met others, kind of wandering around, disoriented by the darkness.. Con Ed on 14th street opened its lobby doors and set up areas where people could come in, sit, and charge their cellphones. It became a kind of meeting place and hub, as things moved slowly, through the dark, back into the light. Weird. We saw the best, and the worst of New Yorkers.

    What a lot of people didn’t realize is that at this time, almost all of NYC was still running on copper telecom lines. Everyone’s calls and internet were using these lines that run underground. It forced Verizon to completely rip out all of the copper cabling and replace it with fiber. There’s still a lot of copper underground but this absolutely crushed the city’s infrastructure. Google “Verizon nyc sandy cable vault”, you’ll see what I mean.
