Sandy Red Cross Helper Back in the Q. C.

Posted:

One Red Cross worker helping out with super storm Sandy victims is now back home.

Jean Jacobs went out with a crew a few days before the storm in an emergency response vehicle.

She was in Baltimore for the storm, but soon after, headed out to Long Island.

She said it was tough seeing so many people in distress, but their resilience was remarkable.

"They all waited in line for their turn, they helped each other, and they said, 'well hopefully tomorrow will be better.' They were just great people," said Jean.

Jean said she may go back out east to help some more.
