After The Hurricane Sandy

Quote of Marianne Lavelle for National Geographic

   In her article the author describes the consequences of the Hurricane Sandy and the difficulties which the local residents met. One of the stories Marianne tells is for  Ligia Siguencia who used a generator providing power only to cook some dinner using candlelight to serve the food and to feed friends of her who gathered in her home several days after losing thir homes in the hurricane.

   My question for the author is: What she felt when seeing the homes of so many people destroyed by the hurricane?

I have never experienced something like this but floods and earthquakes happen  in my country and many Bulgarian people aslo had lost their homes.

I remember the series of earthquakes near the city of Sofia that started in May 2012 and continued for more than 2 months causing damages to some people`s homes and at the same time earthquakes happened in Greece and Italy where the damages were more serious.


GENERATOR - a thing that generates something, in particular.
CANDLELIGHT - dim light provided by a candle or candles.
GATHER - come together.
