Hurricane Sandy has destroyed my neighborhood in Atlantic Beach, NY - located on the the south shore of Long Island. My home has been flooded with 4’ of water as the bay and the ocean came together. We have been without power or communication for over a week and will possibly remain in the dark and cold for at least a month. This is New York but Climate Change has no mercy no matter where you live.
50 people gathered in Brooklyn today to make a dot, then help with relief efforts throughout the city.
Cornell University and Ithaca College students connect the dots between extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy and the money their school invests in the fossil fuel industries that have caused our climate crisis. They, along with 40 other schools, are calling on their universities to divest coal and fossil fuels and fund the future instead!
My sister a single mother of 3 girls, barely keeping her head above water, now has to worry about cutting up this beautiful tree that was in her front yard. We are so grateful it didn’t hit her roof.
Transit workers inspect completely flooded subway station on the A Line at Dyckman Street in upper Manhattan. They are reflected in the water which rises all the way up to the station platform.
NYC is a small dot in a big world… sandy left us flooded and in the dark
When we could finally take we our dog for a walk again my wife took this photo today five hours after the the Hurricane Sandy passed where it is usually high and dry along the Manumuskin Creek. To see this kind of flooding within easy walking distance of our home in Maurice River Township, NJ was unsettling. Just south of here the only road to Cape May, Rt. 47, was closed at Riggins Creek because of high water.
It is time our leaders started talking again about reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions. Save this wonderful planet.
