HOBOKEN, N.J. –  Two days after Sandy roared through, one of the most densely populated square miles in the U.S. is still full of floodwater, still out of power and starting to run out of patience. “They’re saying we might not have power till Monday,” said Jessica Van Binsbergen, 28, a Hoboken, N.J., resident, who was waiting for a ferry to Manhattan. “There’s a lot of flooding where I live. I’m headed to a friend’s. ”Van Binsbergen, her cat in tow, was standing in a line of hundreds of people  – all of whom were eager to get out of Hoboken, a densely packed city of about 50,000 people along the Hudson River.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
