What a week! Here's my Hurricane Sandy experience, right in the middle of Manhattan. Like much of New York, my roommates and I planned for the worst, so we made sure to have the necessities: flashlights, water, and PB&J! We were fortunate enough to not lose power, but unfortunately areas closer to the water weren't as lucky. Public transportation was also shut down the entire week and as a result, the school cancelled classes for the entire week!
On Tuesday, one of my roommates and I took a walk down to Battery Park to see what the rest of the city looked like. On our walk, we saw piles of wet leaves, snapped trees trunks, and broken awnings on the ground. The wind was so bad, it even blew down a traffic light! After this brief hiatus from campus, I was definitely grateful that the hurricane somehow bypassed FIT. 
Despite how many people were impacted by the "Frankenstorm," I am amazed at how resilient everyone was. I will say despite how nervous everyone was about Hurricane Sandy, the city and FIT did an amazing job at keeping everyone informed and calm, but what an experience. Here's hoping that everyone else is just as resilient and safe!
