Answer :

answer:I looked up the weather for manhattan specifically since my family there had a lot of trouble during and post Sandy. What I am worried about most is the cold temperatures and that some of the work being done to restore power and water will be delayed those who are still doing without. My sister and aunt finally got power back yesterday, and now have running water, but still no heat nor hot water. I am miserable thinking about how miserable they are in the cold temperatures. I am hopeful the wind won’t interrupt their electricity again. It doesn’t look like the winds will be strong enough to likely knock out a lot off power if it was a typical time, but anything could happen of course. Some things most certainly will come lose that right now are holding on by threads, so there will be some more destruction of some sort, but I think not on a major scale. The biggest problem os the psychological and physical fatigue of the people in the region. I lived in FL several years back when we had 4 hurricanes in one season and it was frustrating even for people who had no damage to their property. Preparing, waiting, aftermath, curfews, it’s quite stressful, and we were never freezing.
