On November 3rd, N. R. Kleinfield wrote an article on the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy has scared many people and caused many problems. The next big worry is the climate change and extreme weather caused by this. The authorities have been thinking about putting up sea gates around Queen Midtown tunnel in order to protect it more. New Jersey is facing some problems with their Hobroken train. Authorities are even taking into consideration to replace buildings along the coast just to be better prepared for the next nature disaster. Governor Andrew Cuomo has said they need to take bold steps because he is aware of how dangerous these natural disasters are. It is clear that New York needs to protect themselves, but after all of this settles down, the public may still complain about the raise of taxes. They are even considering on building protection for 100,000 year level. New York is even considering on moving electrical cords from basements to higher level areas. Many older building have pump beneath Manhattan, while newer building have them higher up. Mr. Ruden said we are living in a different world. Hurricane Sandy should lead to a massive reordering of priorities as Kleinfield said.
Kleinfield did a good job of presenting the situation at hand and giving ways of being more cautious for future natural disasters. He provided many quotes in which showed what New York is thinking about doing to the city so that this will not happen to them again the next time a hurricane comes along. He also had Subtitles in his article which showed the reader where he was beginning to change into a different subject.
