Hurricane Sandy turned out to be a very unexpected, destructive storm. Luckily i wasn’t effected by it because i was living far away from the water, unlike many people who happened to live very close to the water. I consider myself and my family lucky because we were at the right place at the right time because we were all inside our apartment building and we didn’t have any power outages nor tree damage destruction. I lived in ‘area c’, where the area wasn’t threatened by the waters. I thought, since last years hurricane Irene wasn’t a big threat, people shouldn’t worry about this hurricane either. But, it turned out to be a very horrific storm and a storm to remember. Many people were threatened by this hurricane and as a result mayor Bloomberg announced a mandatory evacuation. Some people listened, and some didn’t. Those who listened, made lives easier for the first res ponders And those people who didn’t take it seriously, put their lives on the line as well as the first res ponders. We were all lucky for Sandy to be a category one. This was a wake up call. We all have to listen to announcements god for bid if there are other hurricanes. We have to take it seriously.
