>Do you know how this compares against Hurricane Katrina? I sure don't, except that the death toll from Katrina was above 1,000. Nope. I'm no expert in hurricanes. But actually, my best friend is one of the country's foremost experts in the economic effects of hurricanes and has been studying the topic for almost a decade. I'll ask him. >In comparison, Sandy should have been a cakewalk for FEMA, especially with the memory of Katrina and all the time they had to prepare. Not really. What I do know is that the overall size of this hurricane was massive and covered an incredible amount of ground, and the fact that it hit the NY metro area (about 30 million people) among other areas and did that much infrastructure damage with what I think is comparably little loss of life, is kind of amazing to me. I did not expect things to get this close to normal in NY so soon. The first couple of days were really, really scary. -Z
