The Use Of Social Media

The Use Of Social Media:

 

The use of social media in the hurricane Sandy helped alot of people communicate with there family and friends.Some of these social medias where Facebook, Twitter etc. This helped the family and friends keep in touch with each other, if there lights were out or if they didnt have any service.I spent Hurricane Sandy in Clifton and over there nothing happened.The only major thing that happened was a table and chair flew away and the lights twiched thats about it.
