By Amy Fuhrman, Staff Writer

The longtime favorite children’s show “Sesame Street” will direct its attention to the victims of Hurricane Sandy this week.

The disaster themed episode, airing Friday, focuses on the street after a hurricane strikes and leaves the residents to repair and recover. Since its original air date in 2001, the episode has also been shown after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast in 2005.
