From Daily Mail
''President Obama has declared a 'major disaster' in New York and Long Island after a night of being battered by Superstorm Sandy, left the areas looking like the set of a disaster movie.
It
hit the mainland at 6.30pm local time yesterday having laid waste to
large parts of the coast during the day. The US city shut its mass
transit system, schools, the stock exchange and Broadway, and ordered
hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to leave home to get out of the way
as Sandy zeroed in.
A
13ft wall of water caused by the storm surge and high tides resulted in
severe flooding to subways and road tunnels. Torrents of water poured
into building works at Ground Zero, cars were swept down streets and
power was cut across lower Manhattan in a bid to minimise damage to
infrastructure.''
