Hurricane Sandy in the past year has become one of the most severe natural disasters that seriously "crippled" America. Tens of thousands of destroyed homes, damaged power lines, and a myriad of cars. The latter, by the way, turned out to be so many that insurance companies had to rent space at the New York airport Calverton Executive Airpark in order to place the restored cars until they are put up for an Internet auction.
From a bird's eye view, the parking lot resembles a giant anthill, which stretches over two runways 2 and 3 km long, respectively. The airport was built recently, its opening is scheduled for the summer, so now the territory could be used to accommodate cars. They began shipping the repaired cars here at the end of November, and they plan to sell them out until April.
The only trump card that allows you to count on the rapid pace of sales is the incredibly low prices. So, for example, for Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 release no more than $ 2 025 is paid at auction. The car is delivered to the buyer within 3-5 days.
Recall that from Hurricane Sandy, which caused the strongest storm on the east coast of the United States, more than 110 people died, the New York subway was flooded, and hundreds of thousands of people suffered from constant power outages. Insurance companies paid the victims more than $ 25 billion in compensation, but creative people responded to the trouble in their own way. In particular, a 56-kilometer laser installation in the form of a life-affirming rainbow appeared over New York, thanks to the efforts of designer Yvette Mattern, and designer Sebastian Errazuriz "dressed" everyone in post-stricken I LOVE NY T-shirts.

Once upon a time, by the strongest hurricane, the van of the girl Ellie from Kansas was carried far, far away to a magical land, where incredible adventures awaited her.
