Amazing story of the Rockaways before and after Hurricane Sandy. Powerful stuff.

The Dead Exs actually played for this surfing community back on October 29, 2012,  1 night before the storm. Even Simon who is reference n the video several times jammed with the band on stage.  It was an amazing night. Everybody knew of the storm coming but nobody had any idea how bad it would be. Take 10 minutes and watch this film…beautifully done… elquent. We send our prayers and best wishes to the entire community of the Rockaways.
