Sandy has proved to be way more devestaing than anyone ever imagined. The death toll continues to rise everday. People should have evactuated and not waited until the very last second. there was a father and son who drowned in their basement but why would they go in the basement? that would be the place where the flood water would go first. more people should have listened to the warnings that were sent. the death toll would have been reduced significantly. even if they decided to stay, they should have gotten to higher ground or used precaustions when walking. one lady was electrocuted when she stepped on a downed electrical line. it's so sad that she died from the after effects of the storm but it's also common sense. electricity and water are not a good mix and water will always fill the basements first. maybe the letter should have given precaustions of where to go if people decided to stay. it could have saved even a couple more people. they will forever be remembered.
