CCHS: Hurricane Sandy Perspective

A hurricane known as “Sandy” smashed the New York coast on the night of October 29th, causing massive flooding, power outages, and 88 US deaths, 67 Caribbean deaths, and two Canadian deaths. The hurricane is being called a “superstorm” by some and is the the worst storm in over several decades. In the wake of the storm, one New York resident says that she has had hardly anything to eat in the past two days, and that “they would freeze to death.” Senator Chuck Schumer said that he would get federal help to the neighborhood as soon as he could. If you want to help with the disaster, you can donate money, get involved in the programs like the Red Cross, or simply offer up a prayer for our neighbors on the East Coast.
