Bigger Fish to Fry
By Cassie Premo Steele
The worst
thing to hit NYC ever.
Flooded from 25th St
south.
thing to hit NYC ever.
Flooded from 25th St
south.
East River swallowed the
FDR and the Hudson rose
up and into the WTC site.
Subways are flooded.
Buses won’t run until 5 pm.
It’s crazy!
Crazy. The skyline was
dark last night. The
Kids are playing with the
cat.
Once power comes back
people can get back to life.
Once power comes back
people can get back to life.
We take so many things for granted until they’re taken from us. Thanks for reminding us.
