In addition to pools, beaches, and outdoor BBQs, nothing defines summer more than its ferocious, damaging, and deadly storms. We interview an old friend, Rob from the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a founding member of our frequent guests, the Met’s Mob. Rob was witness to America’s largest and most destructive hurricane on record, as it struck New York City. Hurricane Sandy in 2012. He tells us his story, that of the larger city … and that of his Mother.
