Everyone had come to make the same point: They'd made it through Superstorm Sandy, which hit the shores of New Jersey and New York in October 2012. But three years later, many hadn't made it home. Doug Quinn, a 51-year-old from Toms River, N.J., had been in the plaza for two days. "I should be at home in my house...
