Obama Declares Brooklyn a Disaster Zone (Post-Tornado)

Yesterday President Obama declared Brooklyn a disaster zone after September’s tornado, which twisted through various Brooklyn neighborhood. 75 percent or $27 million of the City’s cost for clean-up will be covered by the federal money.

But what about homeowners who suffered damage?

The feds haven’t decided whether to assist those who were uninsured. Roofs, windows, doors, skylights, building exteriors and more went flying during the tornado that twisted through many Brooklyn neighborhoods and parts of Staten Island and Queens.
