Lisa Perez and her neighbour Edward Perez pose for a photograph next to the tree that both were separately swept into by rushing storm surge waters when Hurricane Sandy struck in Oakwood Beach, Staten Island November 14, 2012. Lisa, who lives in a single-story home raised eight feet above the ground, was swept into the water when she tried to move her car to higher ground, said, "I felt myself drowning and was screaming to my daughter, if I die, just stay there!" At the same moment, neighbour Eddie Perez was also swept into the water trying to escape his home. Eddie yelled at Lisa, now holding on to a log to "go for the tree." The two climbed onto the tree where they spent close to two hours at the height of the storm unable to move. Picture taken November 14, 2012.
