Another Storm Hits after Sandy
Taken in New York City |
The New York and New Jersey area are predicted to get hit by a Nor'easter storm this week. The storm won't be nearly as bad as super storm Sandy but there will be some heavy winds. The storm will delay the recovery and could make the damage worse. People who's homes have been badly damaged will have a hard time finding good shelter from the storm. There is also some cold weather coming that will make it difficult for the people who's houses still do not have power.
This is another good example of the Swiss cheese model where certain events line up and make a natural disaster worse. The delay in recovery is going to make everything considerably worse. The longer people are without adequate shelter, the more issues there will be with people getting sick and even dying.
