Superstorm Sandy triggers massive blackout, flooding

Let's all pray for our brothers and sisters in the US as Superstorm Sandy is now moving in the Northeast with strong winds and heavy rain that have triggered massive blackout and flooding in affected areas.

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 16 U.S. deaths were blamed on the storm, which brought the presidential campaign to a halt a week before Election Day.


For New York City at least, Sandy was not the dayslong onslaught many had feared, and the wind and rain that sent water sloshing into Manhattan from three sides began dying down within hours.
