Isolated and forgotten: NYC's hard-hit Staten Island say help is slow to come after Sandy
• NEW YORK (AP) -- The mother grabbed her two boys and fled their home as it filled with water, hoping to outrun Superstorm Sandy.
• But Glenda Moore and her SUV were no match for the epic storm. Moore's Ford Explorer stalled in the rising tide, and the rushing waters snatched 2-year-old Brandon and 4-year-old Connor from her arms as they tried to escape.
• The youngsters' bodies were recovered from a marsh Thursday -- the latest, most gut-wrenching blow in New York's Staten Island, an isolated city borough hard-hit by the storm and yet, residents say, largely forgotten by federal officials assessing damage of the monster storm that has killed more than 90 people in 10 states.
• "Terrible, absolutely terrible," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said as he announced the boys' bodies had been found on the third day of a search that included police divers and sniffer dogs. "It just compounds all the tragic aspects of this horrific event."
• The heartbreaking discovery came as residents and public officials complained that help has been frustratingly slow to arrive on stricken Staten Island, where 19 have been killed -- nearly half the death toll of all of New York City.
