It hit New Jersey so bad. l lost power for 10 days and a lot of people in my town had to take refuge in my high school. The immediately following the storm we had a blizzard and I remember being so cold at night because we had no power or any form of heat. But it really was a time where the community came together.

"You'll never catch me, Sheriff Sandy!" "PIIIIIIINHEEEEEAAAD!!"

I'm originally from Long Island and live in Colorado, and it broke my heart to see New York flooded and with so much damage. We watched the whole thing on TV

I feel sad for those reporters..they risk their lives to provide updates so we get informed..hats off to them..

My family was very fortunate. We only lost power for a day. My grandparents who lived a mile away from us only lost their internet. They never lost their lights. Our house suffered no damage. We had a tree in our backyard fall on our house from Hurricane Irene in 2011. We had another backyard tree fall on a different part of our roof during Hurricane Isais in August 2020. Our roof sustained heavy damage from it. During Irene I was in our guest room (now my dads office) going through some stuff and I heard a big crash and I was like “what was that?” I came up the stairs and I saw through one of our kitchen picture windows a tree on the house and I immediately got my parents. It was after the storm came through and the tree succumbed to the damage it sustained during the storm. During Isais DURING the storm I was with my brother and we were talking with my dad in his office and out of the blue a we heard a huge crash on the roof and we immediately went outside and realized the other tree fell right over our heads. It fell on the part of the roof where my parents room is. When we did the cleanup after Isais we had the utility crew cut down whatever was left of the tree. I’ll never forget that.

I was like 12 when this happened it was cool looking out my window looking at the rain.

I really really appreciate these reporters of the risk they take, just to enlighten us on the latest groundbreaking news all around the world (not only this particular devastating storm) Hats off! There should be celebrated a reporters day internationally as well to encourage them.

i was 6 years old and halloween was cancelled in my city. i remember just staring out the window and not being able to see anything outside. it was terrifying, especially for the tri-state area.

Spongebob: "Sandy! I need water!" Sandy: "Here you go!"

i was 7 or 8 and i remember hearing about this i was in indiana and i just got rain but i remember playing in it

One of the worst storm I’ve ever experienced as a New Yorker. First time I ever feared for my and my families life as the storm hit. The entire night the gust of wind blowing and numerous I thought my roof was flying off. I huddled with my then 2 years old daughter and husband in the dark the whole night. It was scary as hell.

Great job Sandy. It took me three days to get my internet working. THREE DAYS!!

I grew up in Belize (central america) so I'm familiar with what a good storm feels like. But to see a storm with this amount of energy hit the East Coast - Let's just conclude it's definitely historic.

My respect to those reporters who were willing to go out there and let us knew what happened.

My friend was in hurricane sandy... and I kind of feel guilty about not being born yet, not being able to experience it with her... but I’m also kind of glad I wasn’t born yet, being able to be safe. But the story she told me, was no one died, but when I watched this I had a few questions. It is now March 17, 2021. I want to learn how to prevent people from getting hurt in these things, especially in the case of a tornado. I also heard that a bomb exploded to, which is devastating. I hope no one is still recovering from there injuries, and they are all safe now.

Thank God, I was in Panama City, Panama for Sandy 💥

I think we need another BIG storm to hit the East Coast. Best of times! I was siphoning gas, walking around meeting people, taking pictures... Disaster brings people together

I remember that storm i was 4 and we lost power for 2 weeks and my neighborhood was flooded

Who else is thinking about this is 2021 (your a legend)

I am from Pennsylvania on the eastern side of it and after it was over we walked down to the creek near our house and the creek and it was like 1/4 of a mile wide and it is usually 15 feet wide. And the one guard rail on the left side of the bridge was washed away.

2020?

I never lost power and now I get lots of money to fix all the roofs in my area thank you sandy

Good thing I survived! :D

Damn, you forgot to give Sandy her Candy! :O HAPPY HALLOWEEN! XD

this video just helped me with homework awesome!

Thank God David was watching that lamp post. I was sooo worried about that lamp post but I feel better knowing he is watching it for me.

Watching this while watching Hurricane Ian slams through Florida.

Mummy Mummy! It's a good day outside can we go to the beach!!

First time seeing what Sandy did to Jersey Shore,wow! -just got my power back on 10 minutes ago (Northern Jersey). Prayers to all who've lost more than just electricity.

Bro I was living here when sandy hit nyc and my 2nd birthday was the month after that

2:53 Nice Littering

I was 6 when this happened and I don’t remember anything I don’t think my streets were flooded although I live very close to the shore in Brooklyn

Hey, I was an infant at the time, and I lived damn near the water where it happened. My parents have told me that when it hit, power went out. Obviously. But the water almost reached our door.(we lived upstairs at the time, we’ve moved though.)They’ve also told me that a car was up in a tree. Yes, up in a tree. After the storm passed, people were lining up their cars and opened the doors so we could crawl through. Fun fact, the picture where the man was walking in the water holding his dog, happened on MY BLOCK! I know right? Crazy stuff.

This storm brought a wintry mix to southeast michigan. I remember sleet coming down when entering school during the hurricane.

4:00 for the good stuff.

I'm thai...sending love&prayers to NY

Nice reporting Ginger!! We miss you here in Chicago!!

Awesome, I didn't know that. Thanks :) In that case, i hope the U.S. stay on that track.

Thanks for the heads up ... calling now.

God be with us! God bless all the people stuck un the storm God is GOOD!

i was 6 when this happened.. my family is on long island, (me, my parents and my 4 y/o sister), 30 minutes from nyc and right next to the water. we basically did exactly what that woman said at 1:26! we only lost power for a good week, i believe? a tree fell on my neighbors house, and we have many huge trees around our homes, so we panicked a bit. we also had quite a bit of flooding, outside and inside our home, but besides that, we were all ok! (including my neighbor) i'm now 17, turning 18 in about a month and 1/2, actually 'bout the same age my parents were when they experienced hurricane gloria in 1985. looking back, i'm so thankful we didn't have it worse.

People across the World...we must realize that we share the same planet. its time to appreciate what we have in this lifetime. Whether you have family or not...we must love one another. I know its hard in a world where all we hear is bad news, but that is just a distraction from how beautiful this life really is. So much hate it is contagious, a disease, a virus that must be stopped and cut off from who we truly are. We are given the miracle of life..lets embrace it.

Good luck from England

I was down there when sandy hit. I was on vacation but we avacuated which is good

our prayers are with you from iraq

I hope the people in the affected areas are doing ok

Me here 7 years later In Howard Beach where the storm hit us but luckily we were all safe and sound

I remember when it hit my town

Damn it’s been 10 years? Rest in peace grandma… yes she passed away around the same time sandy hit New York and had to be there for her funeral…

God bless the families and all those who are being affected my sandy

you sound like a cheery person and will get far in life! :)

wow i am so glad i live in california hope the best for the east cost

I live north of Philly and I still lost power during this storm! I was out of school for 4 days!!

i feel so sorry for all of them:(,my family lives over there:(i pray for all yall

Me when it happened, I was on the west coast 😂 yet I still saw its storm clouds over the horizon.

Sis that is the smallest flooding to me I went through Harvey and it felt like SHIT. Flooding was everywhere and so many people lost so much

Dang this was 10 years ago 🥺

I was affected by Sandy I'm a couple miles away from the beach, all I saw outside my house was the sky lighting up with transmitters going out and trees blowing In the wrong direction they were supposed to go in. My house almost caught on fire beacuse the winds blew the telephone wires right in my drive way and I had a huge tree that was ruined the wired were attacked to the tree and braught down wires with it , it was really scary going out side in 100 mile winds and moving debre away from my

"It is chaos along the Jersey Shore." Sounds like Jersey Shore alright.

I remember this! In the Ohio Valley we just got the left overs at like at 2:00 am in the morning! UGGHH! I CANT FORGET THIS STORM!!!!!!!

I watched this on the news in Doboj,Bosnia and Herzegovina,I watched this on the News.Wow that was a Hurricane.

i was thinking the same thing,i wouldn't feel safe there anymore!

Why did this have to happen? When someone mentions the words hurricane, storm, Sandy, or 2012 my mind freezes for a moment and my mind flashes all the images of my house and other things around my neighbor hood since the storm. Things were just going good in my life...

Wow...What support you give....

Here on Long Island things have been getting better every day. If there was a problem - I would say it.

i have personally nicknamed the storm a freak of nature because of everything it involved with it

I was 4-5 when this happened! I didn't panic at all LOL

So what catagory was this storm? I read somewhere that it was catagory 1 but I don't think that's right because why would they call it super storm sandy if it was only catagory 1?

Thanks.

i could not be a news weather reporter... standing outside in a hurricane is crazy

My social studies teacher was in New York the day before the storm hit and she almost missed the last train.

I WAS IN HURRICANE SANDY. I LIVE IN FAIRFAX, NEAR DC.

"One of the safest and driest places..." but you see her getting blown like crazy with flood all over and wind like crazy loll Best of wishes to East Coast! Stay strong!

America can't be beaten by any hurricane. Our history has proved that.

Thank god for this storm, Finally i can get a job.

May God help the people suffering from this natural calamity

Same here, is it a sign for sure!

I can remember watching this in prison back in 2012😂 I had a app on my TV that allowed me to watch all American channels from England I was in a bad situation back then myself and thank god and only god will get us all through this so we can all look back and laugh at it on tv like it never happend I will never forgot that year I was locked away for Christmas and New years it all happend just before Christmas too make it alot worser for people and there homes for Christmas we were all suffering back then and for all that did now will look back and laugh like me right now I'm free not in prison no more laughing I pray you can laugh with me

here in Midwest we're all eating popcorn wearing 3D glasses

The power flicked on and off twice for me in Baltimore.

Thank you to our friends in Saudi Arabia.

you're awesome :D

I came from Brooklyn,NY and I was only 0 yr’s old I was a baby then

This was a hurricane for some of it's journey. It's still hurricane season. And hurricane Gloria removed a section of Fire Island back in the 1980's. It created a new inlet which had to be filled. Do you remember that?

ohhh guys, God bless you.....

I was in it. They closed school for 2 days!

New Yorkers, as you flee your city and head south I will welcome you with the same hospitallity that you have always shown me.This tiny room is your for only $900 a night.

It's being liked because it's providing information about the storm. And before you say anything, I was hit by the storm, I know people who lost their homes, my cousins got hit badly, and I still hate it for not only canceling halloween for the second year in a row (Which I totally called last year after that snowstorm), but for keeping something I had been waiting for weeks to get for three whole days while it was fifteen minutes away from my house because the streets were closed.

I live in New Jersey and sheesh if I look outside every second during the storm, the sky would glow green with the transformers explosion think a about it about 50,000,000 people live just in New Jersey, Nee York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut! This small portion is so densely populated that the shelters were jammed to the max in short amount of time trapping millions in New Jersey!

thanks

I remember web my cat ran out during Sandy and I was out for a hour trying to get him while my mom said leave outside

i was in the path of that storm right in new jersey

It was all fun and games until the storm literally flipped the roof off my house and it landed in a tree like 40 feet away, and I live about 80 miles from the coast

Terrific!!

House, yeah my whole town got ruined and stuff my friends who moved away couldn't contact me cuz the power was out in my town for 3-2 weeks. Just now my town is slowly recuperating from sandy, where I live ALOT of my childhood/ favorite buildings and hang out areas is gone and never coming back. Sandy ruined my town but made it stronger in so many ways :)

Props to the woman sacrificing her life to show the hurricane on the news.

tell that to the people of Breezy Point, Staten Island, Seaside Heights, Battery Park, Long Beach and all 200 families that lost a loved one in this storm

I live in tornado alley, where without warning , strike late evening or during the night. Nature is something to not take lightly, if I lived where hurricane strike I'd get hotel inland until the Strom passes. A tornado 🌪 just a cloud then with little warning can cause immense destruction. One side of the street houses are leveled the other left untouched, can flip train cars off the tracks, drive blade of grass into a tree. Both are amazing extreme forces of nature.

It hit me when I was a baby and it flooded beachwood so bad

Thank god!
