Electric power is slowly coming back to New York's neighborhoods and parts of New Jersey, but many residents in the storm-ravaged area are still cold, hungry and looking for answers as they enter their second week post-Sandy and brace for a nor'easter set to hit the region this week. "This is going to be a massive, massive housing problem," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference Sunday, adding that some New York neighborhoods and buildings are in such bad shape that they won't have power for weeks or months. The superstorm Sandy death toll now stands at 49 in New York, with 41 of those deaths in New York City. A total of 24 deaths were caused by Sandy in New Jersey, and five people were killed in Connecticut.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
