Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) broke his 17-month Twitter strike today when he tweeted a YouTube video about the devastation superstorm Sandy left in his native New York.

The video clip shows a Rockaway Beach, Queens, resident outlining her experience after the storm. The footage is of the neighborhood and the citizens of that area.

Welcome back, Mr. Weiner! Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
