My good sir, on behalf of the people in the United States who actually care about your predicament, I had heard nothing of these events until you brought them to our attention. I hope you and your family and everyone else is alright, but as Courageous said below, focus was on the President and his next term and his plans and in New York, we had a heavy focus on bus strikes and winter weather. So no, we knew little to nothing of this, and this was hardly covered by the media and the press.
