Re: Hurricane in USA?
Actually when I was reading news yesterday about the Hurricane, first person to struck my mind was you Singh. It is good to hear from you that you are safe. But yes evacuation have taken place and they are taking necessary measures.
Thanks for your concern buddy.
Yes they have evacuated millions of people but there were few stupid people who refused to evacuate and few people jumped the fences put by the police and were surfing. DUMB people.
Feel bad for the national guard and people working for emergency services when they have to go and rescue these very people who refused to evacuate. (if required).
Now QUICK UPDATE on the Storm:
Superstorm
Sandy surged inland late Monday, hitting the New Jersey shore and New York Harbor with incredible force, killing at least eight people, plunging almost 5 million others into darkness and crippling transportation with historic flooding across a huge swath of the East Coast.
The mammoth storm began breaking up as it hit the New Jersey shore Monday evening with maximum sustained winds of
90mph(144 km/hr)
, later dropping to 75 mph, but Sandy continued to punch a destructive path across 11 states and the District of Columbia even after having been downgraded from hurricane status.
Attaching few pics of the storm and the flooding caused by the same.
