Hurricane Sandy
Manage episode 390637778 series 2738137
October 29th, 2012. A couple of days before Halloween. New Yorkers were told to prepare for this day starting the week prior. Hurricane Sandy had formed in the Western Caribbean Sea on October 22nd, and meteorologists feared for the worst for residents nearest to the coast. Kim Joyce, a resident of Staten Island, was one of those told to evacuate her home on the weekend preceding that Monday. Kim resided in the Great Kills section of Staten Island, and for 15 years she lived in a bungalow right there on the beach. Kim had a boyfriend, but the home was her own. She wasn’t alone however, she lived there with quite a number of cats. Nine, to be exact. Truthfully though, she wasn’t convinced of the severity of these warnings. Just one year prior, Hurricane Irene had hit the same region. Some of you may remember Governor Chris Christie of nearby New Jersey sternly warning residents to, “get the hell off the beach.” During Irene though, Kim’s small beach bungalow went unscathed. Sandy would be different, however.
