Glenda Moore clung desperately to her two small sons as wave upon wave
pounded their SUV in the middle of a flooded Staten Island street.
Seconds later, the boys disappeared in the killer floodwaters, with their
terrified mom left to swim for her life and pray for theirs.
Connor and Brandon Moore remained missing Wednesday, two days after they
disappeared as Hurricane Sandy pounded the borough.
“She was holding onto them, and the waves just kept coming and crashing and
they were under,” the mother’s sister told the Daily News at her home. “
It went over their heads … She had them in her arms, and a wave came and
swept them out of her arms.”The mom was driving along Father Capodanno Blvd
. on the island when the rushing waters trapped her and the two kids - ages
2 and 4 -inside the car. Glenda Moore managed to escape the quickly-
flooding vehicle and free both boys from their car seats, only to lose her
desperate struggle with Mother Nature.
“The waves just came and started crashing on the car,” said her sister,
who declined to give her name. “She said she got shoved, and then the wave
just took the car and flipped it over. She was knocked down.”
About two dozen police officers were searching for the missing kids in a
marshy section of Staten Island just off Father Capodanno Blvd. The mom was
helping to lead the hunt despite suffering hypothermia during a night spend
outside during the worst of the storm.
"They're the most beautiful children ever," said the sister. "One's a
redhead, the other a dirty blonde."
According to the sister, a dripping-wet Moore banged on doors looking for
help in the middle of the hurricane, but couldn’t find anyone willing to
help her.
"They answered the door and said, 'I don't know you. I'm not going to help
you,’” said the sister. "My sister's like 5-foot-3, 130 pounds. She looks
like a little girl. She's going to come to you and you're going to slam the
door in her face and say, 'I don't know you, I can't help you'?'”
Moore spent the night huddled on a doorstep as the hurricane’s assault
continued. At daybreak, her sister said, the desperate mother walked until
she found a police car and related her heart-breaking story.
Initially, the sister feared that Moore was gone along with her sons.
"We'd been trying to call around all night long,” she said. “I was calling
every precinct, shelter, trying to get some word and there was nothing. And
then they called me and said, 'We found your sister,' and I was just like,
'What about the children?' They said they didn't find the children."
The family was hoping for a miracle as the hunt for the two kids stretched
into its second day.
"We're just hoping and praying with every phone call they have good news for
us, something,” she said. “We're just waiting - hoping and waiting."
