The algoreans are of course blaming this storm on global warming.  They simply refuse to believe that Mother Nature has a mind of her own.

Hurricane Sandy is around 200 miles from smashing into the New Jersey coast - sparking fears across East Coast cities that have already seen the first signs of her monstrous power, including snow, breached rivers and floodwaters submerging towns and homes.

Atlantic City, which has already suffered heavy flooding, is expected to take the brunt of the monster storm as Sandy hits land at 10pm on Monday, unleashing storm surges, gale force winds and rainfall that could leave millions without power.

The hurricane strengthened overnight to nearly 1,000 miles wide with winds in excess of 90 miles per hour as it accelerated towards Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. At 12pm, the hurricane was 201 miles from New Jersey and heading for the coast at a speed of 18mph.
