Beginning of monster hurricane “Sandy”. Supposed to be the worst
storm in memory with convergence of a true Atlantic Ocean Hurricane with a Nor-Easter
coming from Canada and the West. All airports (DCA, IAD LGA Kennedy, etc) and
public ground transportation (Amtrack, METRO, NYC subways) up the entire East Coast
of USA pre-emptively closed prior to the storm. Storm scheduled to peak here in DC
tonight and into tomorrow. I came to work since there is an almost 100% chance that
my house will lose power since even lesser storms cause power outages in my
neighborhood. Likely will sleep here at NIH tonight. Stay tuned……

Oct. 30 – Nov. 3, 2012– “Sandy” totally devastated parts of the East Coast, particularly
NYC and New Jersey shore. One of the worst, if not the worst “natural” disasters to
strike NYC. Wall Street under water. Flooding of the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel and all
NYC subway tunnels. Con Ed plant exploded and all of lower Manhattan without
power. Had to evacuate Bellevue-NY University Hospital. Atlantic City destroyed.
Truly historic.
