Fordham Conversations: Six Months After Sandy

by Robin Shannon, Alen Kanlic | 04/27/2013 | 7:00am

Six Months After Sandy

This week we catch up with Kendra Newkirk, who lost her home to Super Storm Sandy almost half a year ago.

Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive storm of the 2012 hurricane season. It was also the second-costliest hurricane in U.S. history. Monday marks six-months since the Superstorm struck our area.

 

On this week's Fordham Conversations we hear from Fordham alum Kendra Newkirk.  A few days after moving into her new house in Queens, Sandy hit, washing away almost everything Kendra owned. We talk with Kendra just after the storm hit and again a-half-a year later.  But first we also hear from Fordham Professor Mark Naison. He spearheaded an outreach effort to help Kendra recover from Sandy's wrath.
