After everything we’ve learned about those horrific days in New Orleans, how could another hospital in a major American city find itself without power, its staff fighting to keep alive their most desperately sick patients?

NEW YORK — There were big, block-lettered instructions on the chalkboard in the window of Brooklyn’s Buschenschank bar this week: “Keep calm and drink on. We are open.”
Bottled water may be the official beverage on emergency grocery lists but many East Coasters were emphatic about ensuring an adequately stocked supply of beer and wine before the arrival of Hurricane Sandy.

NEW YORK – Bethany Fagan emerged from the Atlantic Avenue subway station in Brooklyn on Thursday and was greeted by a transit worker with a megaphone directing people to the line for buses to Manhattan.
Unfortunately for Fagan, there were hundreds of people already in the line, which wrapped around the new Barclays Center arena.
“This is crazy,” she said. “I have never experienced something like this.”

NEW YORK — Two major airports reopened and the floor of the New York Stock Exchange came back to life Wednesday, while across the river in New Jersey, National Guardsmen rushed to rescue flood victims and fires still raged two days after Superstorm Sandy.

NEW YORK – Shortly after 7 p.m. Monday, ocean water began rushing under the boardwalk in Rockaway Beach, a seaside neighborhood in Queens.
Before long, it was racing over the top of the wooden walkway. And then, as horrified residents looked on, the boardwalk started drifting toward the center of the peninsula.
When Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New York City on Monday night, the Rockaway peninsula, a section of Queens that juts into the Atlantic Ocean, was hit particularly hard by strong winds and rising waters.

No chorus lines twirled, sashayed or belted on Broadway. No Gossip Girls were spotted traipsing through the Upper West Side in the latest preppy fashion. And for the late-night talk shows, evacuated studio audiences became a source of comedy, though the joke for some was all too real.

NEW YORK (AP) — As superstorm Sandy marched slowly inland, millions along the East Coast awoke Tuesday without power or mass transit, with huge swaths of the nation’s largest city unusually vacant and dark.
New York was among the hardest hit, with its financial heart in Lower Manhattan shuttered for a second day and seawater cascading into the still-gaping construction pit at the World Trade Center. President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in the city and Long Island.
