To be honest I thought that it would be like last year…media exagerrating about a storm that didn’t really do any damage. It turned out I was unfortunately very wrong. During the storm I was sitting in my apartment in Queens with my husband and my 3 month old baby boy. I got really scared when they showed Atlantic City and Jersey Shore totally under water. I didn’t expect it would be such a disastrous storm. We live in the part of Queens far from water so we weren’t flooded but the wind was so strong that I thought our windows would break. Thankfully they didn’t but there were many fallen trees on the streets and sidewalks. We didn’t have power for one day and internet/cable was down for few days. All that matter is that me and my family are safe because I know it’s not the case for so many poor people that lost their relatives and homes.
