THE REVENGE OF HURRICANE SANDY

Nobody thought it was possible.  But the entire east coast of the United States of America in general and New York City in particular has been trashed by Hurricane Sandy.  The City that Never Sleeps went to sleep when a blackout paralized the city.  Underground subways were turned into rivers.  Entire sections of New York City has been submerged underwater.  It wasn't total armegeddon, but it was close to it as Hurricane Sandy wrecked havoc with normalicy in New York City.  It wasn't nearly armegeddon by fire, but rather it was nearly armegeddon with water---Lots and lots of water as Hurricane Sandy created a gigantic flood that destroyed areas of New York City that wasn't already trashed by seventy miles per hour wind storms.

A parking lot in the financial district of New York City has been flooded so badly, that cars are floating to the surface.

The line for gasoline at the nearby gas station is two miles long in New York City.  I'm serious about this.  All these people are merely waiting in line for the past two miles to use the same six gas station pumps.  A word of warning for those living in New York City, New York---Don't drive a car.  Walk, ride a bike or use public transportation instead.

An oil tanker got dragged a full mile from where it was docked onto the edge of a road in Staten Island portion of New York City, New York.  Good luck trying to drag this oil tanker back to the Atlantic Ocean.  I'm sure you can find a tug boat that can handle the extra weight that a stranded oil tanker will require.  Right?  Where are the tug boat sailers going?  Why are the tug boat sailers running away?  Come back!  My oil tanker is still stranded in Staten Island.
