Sandy victims cheered at parade
NEW YORK – Victims of superstorm Sandy in New York and elsewhere in the Northeast were comforted Thursday by kinder weather, free holiday meals and – for some – front row seats to the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
“It means a lot,” said Karen Panetta, of the hard-hit Broad Channel section of Queens, as she sat in a special viewing section set aside for New Yorkers displaced by the storm.
“We’re thankful to be here and actually be a family and to feel like life’s a little normal today,” she said.
