In several poor communities in Manhattan, a large number of black people began looting stores, especially after learning that the surveillance cameras were all out of order and most police cars were damaged.
There was no helping it, Manhattan was the first to be hit hard, and it was inevitable for a large number of police cars to patrol.
Some cars that weren't started might have been lucky or sheltered in garages, or deep enough in underground parking to escape the storm's impact.
But the cars that were running at the time of the storm were 100% destroyed.
Top-end luxury apartment electronic security systems were also completely wrecked, those with mechanical locks fared better, while the smart ones had all their doors wide open.
The wealthy are not fond of suffering; they left the area the next day after realizing something was wrong.
They could apply pressure on the government.
