Sad thing is theres bound to be some yank thinking this is the wrath of a black president who supports gay marrige, and they should have tried harder to keep bush in.

Atlantic city starting to flood

14 dead so far.

[NorthernRaider]

729,000 without power in NYC, all main tunnels and bridges closed, 17 dead, hundreds of homes burnt down others flooded, transit systems under water, looting reported, sewage systems running backwards, 3 ft of water in some places, 18 inches of snow in others.

Just think about how Londonabad is equally low lying and prone to flooding.

and that the GOOD news folks!!

[NorthernRaider]

2.4 million without power in New Jersey I think, Breezy Point a community where cops, teachers, firemen go to retire is gone, all burnt to the ground, the entire little village is just gone !!!!!

[Pagan-Mist]

Its a miracle more where not killed considering the severity of the storm. Though saying that its not over yet, apparently virginia can expect up 3 foot of snow

[NorthernRaider]

Prooves the point that if you live in a low lying city utterly reliant on power, public transit systems etc you must have suicidal tendancies, as the residents of Galviston to New Orleans to New York keep finding out.

[bigpaul]

shows it dosent take much to knock out the power systems, did anyone else see the huge blast when the sub station blew up??

[NorthernRaider]

Yeah that was some blast, took out an entire sub station, twas one of about 4 biguns to go, and it was a fallen power supply that caused the fire storm in Breezy point.
