From the NYT:

But while the footage that Mr. O’Keefe and others collected during Sandy and its aftermath will probably be making its way into movies for years, festival directors from Austin to Toronto, from TriBeCa to San Francisco are already getting completed Sandy films, less than three months after the fact. Advances like digital filmmaking have made speedy responses more common.

And as with that disaster there were a handful of documentarylike television programs on Hurricane Sandy within weeks.
