Though the storm passed over Syracuse, it hit some hometowns hard, disrupting the everyday routine of students' loved ones.

Now that the former Hurricane Sandy seems to have passed through Syracuse with only slight rain and winds throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, students are shifting their concerns to those hit hard by the storm, especially to loved ones who are experiencing personal damage and safety concerns.

“I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as it was,” said Tracy Yeung, a junior supply chain management and marketing major. “I hoped my family was alright, especially my parents, sister and my dog.”

Although it seems that Syracuse was spared the worst of Superstorm Sandy, many students at Syracuse University have friends and family caught in disasters zones in New York City and in parts of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maryland.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and MTA chairman and CEO Joseph Lhota led a press conferance Tuesday morning to assess the damage of Superstorm Sandy on New York City and the surrounding areas.
