2. October 30, 2012. I live and work in
Manhattan. Frankenstorm (aka
Hurricane Sandy) just paid a visit, killed 33
people (so far), forced Obama to declare New
York a “major disaster” , left 6.7
million people without power, left downtown
Manhattan under water, destroyed 50
homes in Queens, NY alone, shut down
the subway, airports, bridges, tunnels and
the stock market for the first weather-
related closure in 27 years. Here are some
(graphic) photos I found around the web.
