Luck be a Sandy Tonight



In The Huffington Post, Wayne Parry wrote an article called, "Hurrican Sandy Megastorm: New Jersey, Delaware, And More States Scramble Before Storm." This article states that due to an upcoming mega-storm, nicknamed, Sandy, residents who live along the coast of Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, and other threatening areas are being ordered to evacuate in order to avoid deadly outcomes such as: penetrating winds of eighty mph or higher and as much as a foot of rain. New York City declared that its transportation utilities will stop running Sunday night, and that its 1.1 million-student school systems would be closed on Monday. Sandy initially started in the Caribbean, where it took approximately five dozen lives; and is now headed north, and is predicted to reach the mid-Atlantic coast, in New Jersey where Sandy will be greeted with a wintry storm coming from the west and cold air emitting from the Arctic.  The aftermath of Sandy is expected to bring chaos over 800 miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes. Forecasters warned the people, that because of excess rain, the ground can reach to a high saturation level, which will proceed with trees toppling onto power lines and causing the cities to experience a blackout for several days.  Also, it is assumed to snow heavily in parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina.
