As Hurricane Sandy was creeping its way up the northeastern coast, many students were scrambling to gather as many necessary supplies as they could before the tropical storm finally struck. Students reflect on some ways that they prepared

David Wouch, ’16 Plano, Texas:

Well I tried to stock up on bottled water. I figured I might need them if something happened with the plumbing system. Apparently I wasn’t the only one with this idea because Walmart was almost completely out of water.

Christian Getz, ’16 Tyrone, Pa:

I brought a heavy raincoat from my house, a poncho, and a flashlight just in case we lost power; always be prepared.

Robert Link ’16, Rochester, N.Y.:

I made sure that I grabbed my Gameboy Advance and about 20 of my games. I also bought a whole pack of batteries so I can stay entertained for days.

Ethan Miller ’15, Baltimore, Md:

My mom got worried and sent me a bunch of canned goods in the mail. Now I have about 16 cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli just begging to be eaten.

Ronnie Greene ’15, State College, Pa.:

I prepared for Sandy by moving all my belongings off of the floor and onto my bed and desk in case the room flooded.
