The storm left me very fearful. By the time the storm was over I had slept a lot, listened to the radio a lot and did not touch a bit of classwork. …and I was lucky enough to have power, water and food throughout. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people who lost property and lives.

NYU hospital’s loss of power and the need to transfer many patients left me with a great sense of all the effort that goes into making disaster plans. The way the city handled the storm was commendable from a citizen’s point of view.
