While she floated in the bin, her parents and other adults in the neighborhood rode canoes to safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just over a year later, Hurricane Sandy struck the Northeast U.S., and Jiang and her family were left without gas or power because of the intense winds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, Jiang\u2019s family faced yet another hurricane, Hurricane Ida, but this was the first time it happened when she was away at school. She found out when her dad sent her a photo of her backyard completely covered in water. Her parents had to clean up the damage while juggling their small business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI just knew that they were spreading themselves thin,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the hurricanes came with a warning, severe rainstorms this past December happened unexpectedly, costing Jiang\u2019s family a lot of money. There were two storms in the span of two weeks, and her house flooded twice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI felt like I couldn&#8217;t be of much help,\u201d she said. \u201cObviously I wasn&#8217;t going to fly home for a day to help them clean up, but my mom would call me saying how tired she was, how she&#8217;s been cleaning all day, I could hear her sighing over the phone.
