Last year's flooding by Irene and "Snowtober" power outages have people
in the Northeast gun-shy for problems from Hurricane Sandy. Though
Sandy's impacts are a few days away for the Northeast, people are
beginning to prepare for the storm.
Depending on the exact track
of the storm, there could be a broad corridor of power outages early
next week, including the NYC and Boston metro areas. Flooding rains and
damaging winds will be major affects from the storm. A storm surge of 5
to 10 feet is possible to the northeast of the storm's center.
- Despite uncertainty on eventual #Sandy track, not a bad idea to prep now-get 'em ready: batteries, generator, flashlight, food @cbsphilly
Oooh boy, can somebody please buy me a shovel in prep for #Sandy? I assume they'll be sold out by the end of today. #peoplefreakingout
Hurricane #Sandy's impact on the US is still uncertain,but now is a good time to review power outage tips rdcrss.org/TD6vbi
For those who have lost power during Hurricane Sandy & don't have a generator.....u may have to light up 1 of these.... pic.twitter.com/qWt1E4tD- Already, there are concerns about how flooding issues could impact election results.
