affected cars from hurricane Sandy

     In the article "What Happens to All Those Swamped Cars?" the writer Neal Boudette and Matthew Dolan talk about all of the cars that have been affected and messed up by the recent Hurricane Sandy. All of the cars that have been flooded with water are damaged and the writers talk about what repairs are made and how the cars are given back to the owners.
     In New York, many of the cars were damaged. This is mostly where the article talks about. Cars in New York were damaged badly. When cars are damaged, auto sales are usually boosted up. When the car is flooded, you cannot usually replace it. It's "un-fixable."
     In 2005 during hurricane Katrina about 600,000 cars were damaged. That is a lot of cars to be fixed and a majority of them couldn’t even be fixed because they were messed up so badly. If another hurricane bad like that comes along, I believe even more cars will be damaged.
    Some cars are usually seen in about 60 days. If a car is damaged, people will not be able to travel, or go to work. So car companies try and hurry to fix them so people can get to where they're going and be on their way.
     Many places that have lots of cars in there city, will have to wait longer to get there car fixed. The car companies business will go up extremely, but people's lives will be slowed down.
     If many cars don’t get fixed at once or very shortly, there will be lots full of broken cars and that can be a hardship on the already badly affected ozone. Abandoned cars is not good, it waist lots of people's money.
     People can take different safety precautions for when a different hurricane comes along. Cars affected by water rising into them will put many people at a setback that can be stopped pretty easily. All those cars do not need to be messed up at once. More people's money can be saved with different strategies and tips.
