Sandy hits Atlantic coast; NYC, DC, Philly, Boston, Chicago affected | |
October 30, 2012 Superstorm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline with 80 mph winds Monday night and hurled an unprecedented 13-foot surge of seawater at New York City, flooding its tunnels, subway stations and the electrical system that powers Wall Street. At least 10 U.S. deaths were blamed on the storm, which brought the presidential campaign to a halt a week before Election Day. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20121028/news/710289829/ |
