I shot this story on hurricane Sandy's effect on New York City's utility and transportation infrastructure for the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the UW a while back. It wasn't the most exciting topic, or shoot, but it was nice to dip a toe back into journalism again.
Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest of the 2012 hurricane season and is the second costliest hurricane in U.S. history! (Only the damage from 2005's Hurricane Katrina cost more.) While many scientists will be studying "Sandy" for years to come, some researchers are focused instead on how to make communities less vulnerable to such a storm.
