What appears to be transformers exploding is seen after much of Lower Manhattan lost power during the arrival of the superstorm Sandy in New York Oct. 29, 2012.  / AP Photo/Karly Domb Sadof New York The nation's largest city began to pick up the pieces Tuesday after superstorm Sandy deluged lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, devastated the subway system and left hundreds of thousands without power. Sandy's wrath was felt up and down the East Coast, causing dozens deaths before continuing its path inland with the potential to cause even more havoc. At least 10 people in New York City died in the storm, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday. A man in Queens and a couple in Brooklyn were killed by falling trees. One woman may have died when she stepped in a puddle that hid an electrical line.

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.
