After the onslaught of superstorm Sandy caused the back-up generator at New York University's medical center to fail, hospital officials say at least 300 patients were successfully evacuated to other area hospitals overnight. Fifty to 70 ambulances lined up along First Avenue in Kips Bay at around midnight Monday, just a few hours after Sandy made landfall in New Jersey and melded with a cold weather system into a nasty storm that left much of Manhattan in the dark and flooded streets and subway systems. Power had went down across Manhattan from 39th Street to the financial district, taking the hospital's electricity along with it. Backup generators kept things going, but started to fail at 11 p.m. as water flooded into the basement.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
