Excerpt:

The extent of the devastation to homes and businesses caused by Sandy is still emerging, but it is already being estimated in the tens of billions of dollars. The overwhelming cause of the damage was flooding which inundated whole towns, broke gas mains, swamped power stations and crippled the region. The salt water ruined cars, businesses and homes. Now the clean-up begins along with the claims to insurance companies. Hurricane Sandy: Full Coverage The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has an online tool that helps shows a rough estimate of how much flooding, by height of water, could cost a household. A home that spans 1,000 square feet with six inches of flooding could have total losses of $20,150.

  • 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).
