Hurricane Sandy

The Hurricane Sandy, wich just hit Cuba and Haiti, will encounter cold winds coming from the north when climbing the eastcoast. It's a little bit frightening. The website of our city warns inhabitants about it and advice us to have bottle of water, non perishable foods and flashligts for at least 3 days.
Floodings are expected, hopefully we are not in a street at risk, because we are on the top of a little slope.
It will be during Halloween, they call it the "Frankenstorm"...
Perhaps school will be canceled...
