How Is Your Life Still Impacted by Sandy?

Share your thoughts with the Patch community.

We recognize there are thousands of people still affected by Hurricane Sandy: folks whose homes were destroyed, whose belongings are gone, whose livelihoods have been affected.

Countless more people have also been affected in some way by the devastation, and have been compelled to show an outpouring of support for the victims, whether in monetary donations to relief organizations, time spent helping in the recovery efforts, or with donations of food, clothing, and other necessities.

Some were without power for days and some for weeks, freezing in the early winter weather while utility companies struggled to keep up with the demand for repairs.

But now, in the three weeks since Hurricane Sandy hit: the trees have been mostly cleared from the roads locally, gas rationing is over, and municipalities have begun to end their state-of-emergency orders. Thus we ask: How does the storm continue to affect you? Has life returned to "normal" for you?

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".
