Here in the midwest, we can only see from afar what being in the middle of Hurricane Sandy is like right now. The powerful storm has bought fatalities and destruction.
Two youths were crushed while in a New Salem, MA home, while a Pearl River, NY man also was killed after being pinned under a tree in his home.
Sandy is affecting air travel throughout the United States.
Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has already issued an airport emergency advisory and warned service will be limited due to severe weather in the east.
As of Monday, 5,000 flights had already been cancelled nationwide, with an unknown number connected to O'Hare. Thousands more were expected to be grounded before mid-week, according to Huffington Post.
To follow the storm in its path, visit the National Weather Service.

All access routes off the island are now closed and will remain so during the next several hours.

Mitt Romney wants to get rid of FEMA completely. He thinks that natural disasters should be handled by the individual states and by private enterprise. As Storm Sandy has sadly shown, neither the states nor private companies are able to cope with such extreme events. R/R and the Republican Party want to cut govt. services to such a degree that we will wind up a third world country. It is the security of knowing that our govt. is there to help in these instances that make us a civilized country. I hate to be political at this time - but in fact - it is necessary to point out that one party does not want the govt. to do much of anything but cut taxes and fight wars. Hurricane Sandy also illustrates the current power of climate change - which the Republicans decry and denounce. This is a good year to vote Democratic.

Yet, naysayers still insist that there is no such thing as climate change/global warming. Storms are increasing in number and power. Wildly vacillating temperatures are evident. Floods and snowstorms bedevil parts of the country that historically never experienced them - or there severity. What does it take for people to read and pay attention to scientific evidence?
