Brian Lair on WNYC and we'll end today with kind of a climate story of the week

addendum. It's a call in on the 12th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy for any of you who are

personally affected by the storm when it hit locally on October 29th, 2012. It was 12 years ago today.

So what happened in your case? Let's tell those stories for the sake of posterity and maybe for

the sake of helping people currently starting to dig out from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Did the government or your insurance company respond effectively as you

experienced it regarding your property damage, or your issues even resolved to this day? And what

advice might you have for people now dealing with their issues down south after Hurricanes Milton and

Helene.

212-433 WNYC, 212-433-9692. 12 years to the day later, some oral history from you on how Hurricane Sandy or Superstorm Sandy, because it wasn't technically a hurricane when it hit our area,

affected you or your property and maybe is still affecting you or your property and lessons to

be learned for others. 212-433 WNYC, 212, 433-9-6-92.

I think we forget because we focus on the property damage from Superstorm Sandy

that 90 people died in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Those deaths attributed to the storm and so much damage of course to homes businesses cars roads

peace of mind um we were here i was on the air that night with special coverage taking your

calls as my colleagues were reporting and as you on the phones were helping us report this story

on beach fronts power outages, evacuations. Maybe you

even remember, even remember, we heard from Elmo that night reassuring the kids who were

listening about the time Sesame Street experienced a hurricane. Yeah, big birds and Nest got ruined, but we got to help put Big Bird's Nest back together again.

So Sesame Street recovered, spoiler alert, did the rest of us, as folks in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina are just starting that process, seeing the damage from

Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
