Answer 1

I was flying to New York City to see my friend Mark and I was thrilled. On the plane, I heard about a hurricane over Jamaica. That was 24th October. By 26th October, everyone was talking about it. Sandy, which was the hurricane’s name, was moving north and getting stronger.

Three days later I was sitting in Mark’s flat when the sky went dark. Soon, it was pouring with rain and the wind was blowing things up and down the streets outside. Suddenly, water started coming up the road from the river. The entire area was flooding, and Mark’s flat was only on the first floor.

A week later, parts of New York were completely under water, and many New Yorkers were without electricity. The emergency services were working round the clock. Sandy caused damage worth $50 billion to the USA alone. At least 199 people lost their lives. Nobody who had met Sandy was likely to forget her.
