As hurricane sandy and one of the largest low-pressure storms in U.S. history begin to collide the entire eastern seaboard braces for the imminent power outages and property damage. Hordes of anxious shoppers have crowded local supermarkets and utility stores to prepare for the storm. My family has brought anything of importance down from the attic in preparation for a tree potentially landing on the roof and we have put all items that could blow away from the yard. We have stocked up on canned soups and bought ice packages for the freezer for when the power goes out. Even President Obama changed his flight schedule so that he could fly out to Florida prior to the storm. This storm will bring a lot of rain with it with parts of Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina expecting up to two feet on snow. Exxon gasoline sales have gone up 20% and targets across the east coast have seen shortages of flashlights and other packaged goods. Almost all of the public schools on the east coast have canceled schools for Monday October 29th and many have also canceled school activities for the 30th. This is one of the biggest storms our generation has ever seen and it is heavily encouraged that everyone prepares for it. So close your windows and charge your phones because a storms-a-coming.
