Super storm hits U.S

At least 50 million people are bracing for the worst storm forecasters say could be the largest ever to hit the United States. 

Hurricane Sandy is expected to hit the East Coast at 8:50 this evening, and will bring that part of the country to a standstill in the next few days with battering winds, flooding and lengthy power outages.

State of emergency has been declared in NYC, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia, and there's mandatory evacuation in all all low level cities. Public transportation, subways, bridges, schools, tunnels, businesses, have all been closed.

Much of the East Coat is on lock down right now as they are expecting a storm surge of 6 to 11 feet above normal high tide. The hurricane is expected to merge with winter storm and they say it has the potential to cause "unprecedented damage."

Thousands of flights into and out of the US east-coast have been canceled and president Obama has also canceled his presidential campaign to monitor the storm, which could cost the US billions of dollars in damages.

Yup. Apparently Sandy's not playing. I spent the wkend in FL and the waves and wind were crazy. Then flying back into DC on Sunday was scary too. At least I'm working from home since my office has been closed till Weds :-)
Yay... Sandy. Now I'm praying that my area doesn't have power cut off. No NEPA moves pls.

God please ohhhhh please. All those states are mostly Democratic states. Please Obama need those votes. If the storm do major damages this election will somehow because people will be worried about their lives and property and less of the President. Only a week away, we cant afford distractions.

You think gay marriage is such a heinous crime that God will visit his vengeance on 50 million mostly innocent people, in a world filled with serial killers, rapists etc. Do you have similar explanations for tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes... that happen in the most remote parts of the globe to people who have done no wrong? Natural disasters have and will always happen, just try to stay safe when you are in harm's way and pray for the people involved rather than pass judgment.

You need to stay safe, the heaviest rains and strongest winds are later tonight in your area. Unless you live in Ocean city.

Interesting how the Anerican establishment is preparing for this eventuality. Confounding how some people are comparing this emergency response to Nigeria..two very different spectre..comparisons and critique should be more objective and less pedestrian

Pls we shud learn to pray for ppl in disaster sstriken areas nd nt try nd fault others for our problem!! Only God can save our friends nd fam abroad nd in d flooded areas, we shud pray for them, they nid our prayers (viki)

NYC-1 says: Just like death, the world will come to an end when it will come to an end. Why do you FANATICS keep making this statement any time Mother Nature reveals its strenght in a way unpleasant to man? Religion and Love goes together, not Religion and Fear. If you are idle and can't find a job yet, let it be known to you that others have jobs and are happy with life. Please stop this 'end of the world' saga. Even if the world comes to an end tomorrow, you might not make it to Heaven bcos of your bad wishes for others. There is a Chinise proverb that says that "the tortoise in a pond thinks, that is the size of the world." Read between the lines.
