UNDESERVED POPULATION OF HURRICANE SANDY
When the Hurricane ravaged through the Mid Atlantic, Caribbean, city of New York and the Eastern parts of Canada in October 29, 2012, thousands upon thousands of people were devastated. This because, their homes were destroyed, power was damaged and many had no access to other basic life necessities such as power, heat, food or water. Those who were most affected were in the category of low income earners, black people and the elderly, people who were deemed to be more vulnerable. The effects of the Hurricane Sandy on this vulnerable group of people should make us learn from these experiences and therefore take affirmative action in preventing such ramifications in future.
The hurricane which developed from a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea strengthened at a very high rate to Tropical Storm Sandy before moving slowly to the Greater Antilles where it intensified gradually. It then became a hurricane two days later and became a category 2 hurricane. It is estimated to have caused a damage of more than 20 billion US dollars. Business interruption losses were more than 50 billion US dollars (Beven, 2012, 10-26). This makes it to be the second Costliest hurricane on Atlantic Ocean after Hurricane Katrina. More than 209 people in seven countries lost their lives along the path of the storm.
Introduction
Hurricane Sandy hurricane was as a result of a tropical wave within the western side of Caribbean Sea and it took place in the month of October. After six hours, it rapidly strengthened and advanced to Sandy tropical Storm. Thereafter, it slowly advanced towards the northward sides in the direction of Greater Antilles after which it steadily intensified. On 24 of the month of October, it developed into a hurricane. It resulted into a landfall adjacent to Kingston, in Jamaica and after some few hours, it re-appeared in Caribbean Sea, advancing into a hurricane in Category 2. In 25 October, it hit Cuba. After this, it softened to Category 1. Very early in the morning of 26 October, Sandy hurricane moved via the Bahamas. In October 27, it weakened shortly to form a tropical storm. Thereafter, it re-strengthened into Category 1. In early October 29, it curved in the north-northwest direction and thereafter, it moved on shore next to Atlantic City in New Jersey. Shortly after that, the storm was referred to as "Superstorm Sandy" (Beven, 2012)
. When the intensity of the storm was at its highest, the storm was considered to be falling in category 2. Despite the fact that the storm fell in category 1 when it went off United State’s North Eastern side, it was considered to be the greatest Atlantic hurricane recorded (Beven, 2012).
When estimations are made, Sandy may have damaged property whose value is not less than $20 billion. The preliminary estimates of losses that include business interruption surpass $50 billion (2012 USD), behind the Hurricane Katrina. At least 199 people were killed on the path of the storm in seven nations (Mongelli, 2006, p32).
Within Jamaica, winds from the hurricane interfered with electricity since it affected 70% of residents. Besides, it interfered with buildings by blowing off the roofs. It also killed one person. The damage that was caused by Sandy is estimated to be approximately $55.23 million. Within Haiti, the outer bands of Sandy resulted into flooding which killed not less than 54 individuals. Besides, it resulted into shortages of food and approximately 200,000 individuals were left homeless. Within the Dominican Republic, about two people lost their lives. Within Puerto Rico, a river that was swollen swept away one person. Within Cuba, there occurred a widespread coastal flooding. Besides, winds damaged the inland parts by destroying about 15,000 homes. It also killed 11 people. The damages that were caused amounted to approximately $2 billion. Within The Bahamas, it resulted into the death of two people and besides, it resulted into a damage of approximately $300 million (Mongelli, 2006, p42).
Within the US, not less than 24 states were affected by Hurricane Sandy, from Maine to Florida, Wisconsin and Michigan. The hurricane severely damaged New Jersey as well as New York. On October 29, it severely hit the city of New York through severe flooding of the tunnels, streets, as well as the ...
