If you're anywhere in the path of Sandy, here's a truly wonderful post by a long-time Florida resident and veteran of multiple hurricanes, on getting ready for a really serious storm, getting through it, and dealing with the aftermath. Go thou and read. And be safe!

Thanks Beth.

I hope every in that area stays safe. Lets hope it's not as bad as it sounds because it sounds like a really bad one.

NY does have a problem with any type of event taht causes the water level to rise...I beleive the city is just 2 mtrs above sea level.

Also, there is a couple of papers that studied the possibility of a big hurricane hitting the North Eastern sea board, using fossilized tree trunks that where knocked down by a Bigger than 5 hurricanes

Best of luck from this side of the world
