It also caused widespread crop destruction and flooded streets, setting the stage for a spike in cholera cases. In Port-au-Prince, where some 370,000 people displaced by the 2010 earthquake live in tent camps, thousands of families were left homeless. “We are hungry, things for me are bad, our tarp is torn,” one victim told the Washington Post. “It’s misery.” Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford had strong words for Chris Christie after the New Jersey governor accused him of sending mixed messages on evacuation ahead of Hurricane Sandy. Langford, a Democrat, told NBC’s Matt Lauer that he wanted to confront Christie “mano-a-mano” to dispute the governor’s “dead wrong” accusations. “Isn’t it sad, that here we are in the throes of a major catastrophe and the governor has chosen a time such as this to play politics,” he said. Actress and R&B singer Natina Reed was killed by a car as she walked on a highway outside of Atlanta last Friday night. The driver of the car called 911 and was determined to be not at fault for the accident. Reed, who was 32, was best known for singing with the 1990s girl band Blaque and for starring in 2000’s Bring it On. She leaves behind a 10-yearold son, whose father is the rapper Kurupt.
