it was a CAT ONE... get over it and rebuild.
seriously, wtf. yes, some houses got flooded and some were washed away. yes, there was flood damage. you didn’t prepare properly or observe proper building codes to insure a 10-20 ft storm surge wouldn’t wreck your stuff
come to Florida and see how much attention a cat one gets from the fedgov and other countries.
ie:none
I remember after 911 an African tribe sent us cattle. Probably a goodly percentage of the tribes worth as they account for it. Stand up folks.
India Takes Over NASA’s Defunct Satellite to Track Sandy

NASA and weather and climate scientists all over the world have been receiving help from India’s Space Applications Center (SAC) to track Hurricane Sandy. The Indian Space Research Organization’s OSCAT radar scatterometer, which travels on board its OceanSat-2 satellite, has been sending valuable image data at near-real time to NASA and NOAA.
OSCAT, designed and developed at SAC, Ahmedabad, is similar to the now defunct QuikSCAT satellite from NASA. Since QuikSCAT ceased operations in 2009, engineers and scientists from NOAA, JPL and NASA have worked with ISRO to validate and calibrate OSCAT measurements to ensure seamless coverage of ocean vector winds, critical for the global climate weather forecasting field.
ISRO’s OceanSat-2, together with NASA’s Cloudsat satellite and Aqua and Terra spacecraft, played a critical role in helping track Superstorm Sandy.

You mean, like Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud (2001-10-11)?
