Crews like the one above, from Clark Public Utilities, in Columbia, Wash. , came to help beleaguered northeasterners get their power back. An John Turner, who came from Chicago to help, left $100,000 richer. (AP/John Turner) One man slept on the floor of a warehouse. A second had his jaw broken by an irate hurricane victim. And another won $100,000 on a scratch-off ticket. All earned the gratitude of thousands. They are the volunteers and workers from all over the nation who drove for hours and even days to come to the aid of superstorm Sandy's victims, working brutal hours and enduring tough conditions to restore power and repair homes in the devastated Northeast.

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.
