Maire came across this on the Au Revoir Simeone facebook page during the week. Its a video about the devastating affects of Hurricane Sandy on the Rockaways district of Queens, New York. The video is about a resident of that area, Michelle Cortez and contains her description of what has happened. Michelle was someone whom we met in New York when we lived there last year, she was our de-facto landlady, an artist of some talent and she was really good to us. Very helpful and great company, she along with some friends had left Williamsburg to try and make a go of a restaurant in the revival of the rockaways. That renewal process will of course have to start again.
