The Frankenstorm

The Frankenstorm

People rushed out to stock up on bread and warm clothes to prepare for the Frankenstorm.  Hurricane Sandy battered the east coast this week.  Weather forecasters all over the United States have been warning the public about this storm for days now.  "The Perfect Storm" is made when a cold front coming from Canada meets up with Hurricane Sandy to create wind, snow, rain, and massive flooding. 

As soon as the storm hit land, large masses of land in the northeast was flooded and mass destruction was seen.  Schools are closed and people are staying inside and trying to be safe.
Monday and Tuesday were seen as the points where the storm was the strongest.  Distruction was seen widespread and now people are just preparing for the cleanup.

New York City is known as the financial hub of the United States. Everyday people are here talking stocks and making business deals.  Closing this major hub is seen as major news and Hurricane Sandy is nothing short of this.  Broadway shows were closed and Manhattan has observed the most flooding.  6 million homes in the east are still without power.  Halloween was rescheduled to Monday in New York so the little kids can still Trick or Treat.  Obama has issued a statement saying that help will be needed.  Patience will be key to reconstruction and the storm will not go forgotten.
