Reading the news about the storm damage is pretty depressing. Besides the human toll, there are effects all the way over here in Japan. Kawasaki Rail Car is a factory that builds trains for the North American market located in Yonkers, NY. At work yesterday I heard that they suffered some light damage, and they will remain closed for the time being. Maybe the whole week. They have some systems that they share with another American Kawasaki factory, so that one will remain closed as well. This means less emails for some of my students, but overall an impacted delivery schedule which nobody (including the customer) likes.
So it is under this condition that I’m teaching classes to students that are affected by the big storm. Hopefully everyone can crawl out from under and start returning to normal.
