Day 3:Hurricane Sandy or Hurricane Problem?

Reporting from New York: Gov. Andrew Cuomo is actually confused on weather  to face the issue of tracking the Hurricane Sandy or the issue of the problems this disaster has caused.
Those with private cars were considered lucky at first because all mass transit were suspended,but now not only those with private cars but all private cab drivers were warned not to drive. More than 13,500 flight were been cancelled on Monday,28th of October 2012 and there is tendency that  500 flight will be cancelled for Wednesday,31st of October 2012. These dangerous Hurricane brought down huge trees that are as old as 180 years,ripped out roofs,flooded the popular Brooklyn Battery tunnel with water, caused bridges to be closed due to high winds, the funniest of all, Brooklyn emergency shelters allowing pets in during sandy  (Americans dont joke with their pets.lol). To make matters worst, there was a curfew for all residents and drivers until 6 p.m.(ok now,dat doesn't apply wiv me cos i gotta take pics.)
    I tried updating some few funny status on Twitter and i saw a very touching update i will like to share with you.
        Re:   "I just got back to my house after managing to check on my mum who was stranded in a nursing home.The elevators were evacuated and the generator was covered with flood"
We that live in New York know what it means to be stranded in a nursing home,these old women and men were left unattended to. *sighs* hmmm.wetin man pikin go do,nurses sef go run now.
    MTA system said,they have never faced disaster as threatening and devastating as this year's Hurricane Sandy.
Here are what i mean by threatening:
* at least 16 deaths
* 5 million power outages
* fires burning
* 7 subway tunnels flooded
* a crane dangling above a high-rise on West 57th street.
* High Tides and waves in the Ocean
ESTIMATION OF POWER OUTAGES IN OTHER STATES:
NJ(New Jersey): 2,325,070 consumers without power supply.
LI(Long Island):866,365 consumers without power supply.
NYC:545,063 consumers without power supply
CONNETICUT:623,953 consumers without power supply
 As long as i am concerned,i didn't even make any attempt to get off my bed.no school,no work.i am on my own.
