Fierce winds ad rain hit New York on Sandy anniversary
Five years ago hurricane Sandy brought lots of damage and devastation to many areas and communities. There happened to be another tropical storm (Philippe) that moved across the northeast on the anniversary of Sandy. It was not even close to as big and damaging as Sandy, however it did have very strong winds and heavy rain. This left many families without power due to the destruction of many power lines. Philippe wasn't ever predicted to become a hurricane, however they did expect about 4-6 inches of rain across the northeast and 10 inches and certain areas.
When hurricane Sandy hit it was devastating, and to think another tropical storm hit the same day is crazy. After Sandy, everyone seemed to come together and help each other out. It was for sure teamwork. It was a prime example of what should happen after families had lost everything. Philippe was a huge reminder of what happened during and after Sandy. No one should ever take what they have for granted because you never know when you could loose it all like some people did in Sandy.
My dad lives in New York and he said that it was not the Storm that they thought it would be luckily. He told me that it was just rainy and windy just like any other storm.
ReplyDeleteI agree that, when hurricane Sandy hit it was devastating, and to think another tropical storm hit the same day is crazy. My heart goes out to all those effected.
