| Frankenstorm Sandy Hits New York |
New York, the biggest city of
United States, chocked for Hurricane Sandy as forecasters said the Hurricane
Sandy – also referred as super storm and Frankenstorm - gained the strength and was raging toward the
New York region, packing high winds and rain and a gigantic wall of water that
could as high as 11 feet.
As reported by the Weather
Channel; Hurricane Sandy is starting to move faster and could make landfall in
New Jersey as early as 5 p.m. ET Monday.
The storm has regained the
strength as it heads along the Eastern Seaboard threatening some 50-60 million habitants,
many who have evacuated coastal cities. Only From New York City more than
375,000 evacuations have been ordered by Mayor Michael Bloomberg towards
the 72 evacuation centers which had been set up
around the city in schools and community centers.
According to latest updates; Sandy
is heading as a strong Category 1 storm carrying winds measured at 90 mph. Wind
gusts were reported as high as 115 mph.
Massive companies
like Google, Apple and Amazon host their servers in specialist 'farms' - many
of which are based in Virginia and areas at risk from the 'Frankenstorm'.
U.S. President
Barack Obama has already declared emergencies in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and promised the government
would "respond big and respond fast" after the storm hits.
