Hurricane Sandy

This is just a short post from a disabled person in London, England, wishing all disabled and elderly people safety and support during Hurricane Sandy as it hits New York City and any other parts of America it may choose to visit.

It's difficult to believe that a city like yours is being evacuated and having its public transport system shut down- but that's what we are hearing here on the news.

To those affected who are not disabled- of course my hopes and good wishes extend to you. Please, please stay safe. If it is at all possible, please support your disabled or elderly friends and neighbours through the storm.

If it is at all possible, please share your experiences of the hurricane in the comments below.

Updated 8.15 am UK time: We here in the UK are facing flight disruption as a result of the hurricane. Does this affect anyone with a disability and/or carers? Will it prevent anyone getting to SDR surgery on time?
