Sandy's Devastation

A couple of days have already gone by, but the US East Coast is still reeling from Sandy's devatating impact. While NYC has started limping back to some semblance of normalcy, with subways and trains starting to get back on the tracks, many parts of NJ, for example, are still without power and phones, and some estimates are that it could take as much as till Wed-Thurs for these to be restored!

Meanwhile, apparently the storm's surface speeds were measured using ISRO's satellites, after the NASA satellite used for the purpose stopped functioning a couple of years back... Interesting!
