Default Hurricane Sandy: US states begin storm shutdown

I live here in the North & I just want to say I wish everyone to be safe from harm and that we will get through this Hurricane.
This weather is crazy.


Hurricane Sandy: US states begin storm shutdown

Barack Obama has warned Americans to take Hurricane Sandy seriously as authorities started shutting down the eastern seaboard ahead of its arrival.

Several states have declared emergencies, with tens of millions of people affected as schools are closed and transport services suspended.

Experts fear Sandy may become a super-storm when it makes landfall later.

Some election rallies have been called off, with Mr Obama warning affected citizens to take precautions.

International travel has been badly affected. Air France, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic grounded Monday's transatlantic flights to and from East Coast cities, including New York, Baltimore, Newark, Washington DC, Boston and Philadelphia.

Sandy has already killed 60 people as it swept through the Caribbean during the past week.

Storm Sandy causes severe flooding in eastern US
"Super-storm" Sandy has swept into the US East Coast with hurricane-force winds, bringing severe flooding, cutting power and claiming 13 lives.

Sandy caused a record surge of seawater in New York City, flooding subway and road tunnels and plunging much of Lower Manhattan into darkness.

An estimated 50 million people could be affected, with up to one million ordered to evacuate homes.

At least five million people across several states are without electricity.

The full extent of the damage may not be known until daybreak.

Over the past week Sandy has killed dozens of people as it carved a path of destruction through the Caribbean.

Public transport has been halted in several eastern US cities, and thousands of flights have been grounded.
