1. Field Report
On Hurricane Sandy’s Visit
To Brookline
On Oct.29, 2012

2. They
seemed
to
be
really
serious
about
Sandy.
School
closed.
Library
closed.
Utility
companies
keep
sending
alerts.
Some
grocery
stores
have
run
out
of
batteries,
and,
water.
I’ve
never
really
experienced
a
hurricane.
Yes,
I’m
intrigued.
OK.
Curiosity
finally
beat
me.
This
afternoon,
I
decided
to
make
a
“field
trip”,
in
the
name
of
research-­‐-­‐-­‐
“What
business
will
stay
open
on
a
hurricane
day?”

3. Date:
Oct.29,
2012
Time:
4:30ish
pm
Place:
Coolidge
Corner,
Brookline,
MA
Street
explored
Business
open

4. See
patterns?
Yes,
I
am
more
often
wrong
than
right…
Again…
Just
as
always!

5. What business is more likely to stay open
on a hurricane day??
For
fun
only;
not
for
accuracy:
)

6. However, even in the worst situation,
you can always expect the best!!

7. NO,
I don’t really mean
cool ice cream &
hot apple cider!

8. I
mean…
this
guy,
Who
makes
the
best
apple
cider,
Who
stays
cheerful
on
a
lousy
day,
Who
tells
you,
“My
dad
would
say
-­‐-­‐-­‐
This
would
be
a
beautiful
day
in
Ireland.”
-­‐-­‐-­‐
End
of
report….Please
take
care,
and
stay
dry!
Btw,
who
can
tell
me
why
they
asked
you
to
get
your
flashlight
ready?
When
the
power
is
out,
I
assume
all
you
need
to
do
is
drinking
and
sleeping.
What
is
flashlight
for?
