Hurricane Sandy has already slammed Cuba, bringing heavy rain and winds around 110 miles per hour on Thursday, as it moved north. By Friday morning, the death toll had already risen across the Caribbean.
The pre-Halloween hybrid weather monster that federal forecasters call “Frankenstorm” is looking more ominous by the hour for the East Coast, and utilities and local governments are getting ready.
The brunt of the weather mayhem will be concentrated where the hurricane comes ashore early Tuesday, but there will be hundreds of miles of steady, strong and damaging winds and rain for the entire Eastern region for several days, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Social media is tracking all news and events of this storm – follow the hashtag #Frankenstorm to stay aware.
UPDATE
Sirius XM Radio has announced that as Hurricane Sandy approaches the East Coast, it will air The Weather Channel to help those in the path of the hurricane and others around the country track the progress and severity of this storm.
