In recovering from Superstorm Sandy, a setback for every triumph

The road to recovery can be measured in exclamations, some of execration, some of joy. "It’s like a living hell," said Latoya Miller, 29, of Red Hook, one of the New York neighborhoods submerged by the rising sea during Superstorm Sandy. "If it wasn’t for the people giving out food and blankets, I don’t know what we would do. There’d be a riot out here." When it comes to what went right, what went wrong and what remains to be done, disaster victims are keeping score for the authorities, and President Barack Obama may receive a progress report first hand when he visits New York City’s devastated coastline on Thursday.
