Ned Costello’s physics class meets in the former Gateway library.
After Superstorm Sandy knocked the lights out at the Sound School’s newly dedicated building on City Point, students and teachers found themselves squatting in a temporary home — just as their founders did when they created an out-of-the-box alternative high school some 30 years ago.

All that tube sand helped, but …
As I returned Tuesday to my evacuated home from Superstorm Sandy, I was in no rush to check out the damage.

Rosalind Lewis had a feeling that one of the trees within her apartment complex was destined to fall. So she parked her car in a different spot, far from the trees.
