Wednesday, September 13th, 2006As NY reflected on the 5-year anniversary of 9/11, “The new crop of hurricanes churning up the Atlantic Ocean raises the specter of a disaster more devastating for New York than a terrorist’s wildest dreams.” When Tropical Storm Ernesto blew through the city two weeks ago, it downed trees and wreaked havoc all over.
