I'd heard a figure early on about damage and death in Sandy's early days, but that information had been completely wiped out by the torrent of correspondents reporting from wind-whipped beaches where they attempted to calculated the economic costs of the storm. Thanks to you and Amy Wilentz for some straight-up perspective. I hope you and your family are well.Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-73415939950225191102012-11-03T08:17:57.074-07:002012-11-03T08:17:57.074-07:00Good post Ruth.

I have a former student who has started a school in the Kibera slums outside Nairobi and have spoken with her when she visits about this very discrepancy of getting the news out!
