This article pertains to the repercussions of Hurricane Sandy on the financial district of New York City. While most were worried about the effects that it would have on the city's electric circuit and all different parts of transportations, the financial district was worried about the effect on the stocks. The author of the article opens it up with an anecdote about a businessman's factory in Fairfield, New Jersey. By doing this, he brings the reader into the piece by giving an example of a small business then moving towards a larger business such as JP Morgan and Verizon in New York. He helps the reader understand how big the storm was by saying how important such companies are in the grand scheme of things. He ends the article with a quote stating the importance power has not only in the financial district, but also the world and that without it, we won't be able to function. Overall, Scwartz does a good job portraying the importance of all aspects of electricity showing the repercussions of Hurricane Sandy.
