Havoc as Storm Comes Ashore

This is the first time in years that the Northeast, especially New York and New Jersey has ever experienced a hurricane. Most of the city's power is out, and many are stranded in buildings for days. My mom called my relatives in New York to make sure that they are fine. My aunt and uncle are stuck in the hospital because of their job as nurses and my little cousin is left being taken care of by her friend's parents. Knowing that my little cousin won't be able to see her parents for a couple of days saddens me because of how close she is with her parents. I just hope that they are safe through the storm. But I know that everyone will be able to get through this.
