We can’t go back. From #SuperstormSandy to #HurricaneMelissa, extreme weather disasters have become too frequent due to climate change. We won’t stand by while the Trump administration jeopardizes our health and safety. #ActOnClimate.

As #HurricaneMelissa makes landfall on the anniversary of #SuperstormSandy, we are once again reminded that devastating storms like these are becoming the new normal as Trump’s EPA is abandoning its mission to protect us from disasters. #ClimateCantWait

In 2012, #SuperstormSandy was unimaginable for the Northeast. Now storms that were once thought “impossible” have become the new norm. The Trump admin’s attacks are making us more vulnerable and less prepared. Tell Trump’s EPA to put #peopleoverpolluters.

I said to myself, “Self, you’re gonna hear these are bc of damage caused by #SuperstormSandy #HurricaneSandy.” And indeed ‘twas true. A 2012 storm. Yes, it was THAT bad. Sandy nearly murdered the subway & therefore the city. NYC remains critically vulnerable to #climatechange in this specific way.

During the two weeks without power during SuperStormSandy, we were able to light our gas stove burners with a match. Hot meals were the best, as was heating water for coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
