EXCERTS FROM “HELD HOSTAGE BY HURRICANE SANDY

“I ran to the window, the one that overlooked the courtyard where residents of the building usually parked. Under my flashlight a small river of brackish water violently rushed in through the garage door from the street. The relentless flow didn’t gush, it surged. At that moment a grave sense of worry exploded within me.”
“Right away, I saw hundreds of cars strewn in all directions, some turned on their side. Tons of sand covered every street in Long Beach like it was a giant snowfall. Between the freshly made light brown ridges, clear ocean runoff trickled away from the seashore towards the road, like it was blood pouring from a fresh wound.”
“With severe wintry weather on the way, we needed a plan…how were we supposed to remain insulated from the cold when there was no heat available?…we located a 7′ x 7′ two-person nylon mountain tent…the only one that would fit inside my mother-in-law’s house when fully assembled. I planned to set it up in the living room, where it was the warmest in the house.”
