Oct 31, 2012 01:24
Hurricane "Sandy" attacked the east cost of the US on Oct. 29. So far, at least 50 people have died because of the hurricane. Currently, Sandy is moving into the inland areas. It is estimated that the casualties will increase.

The extreme weather caused by Sandy has caused 'blackout' among 8.2 million people in 17 states. In New York, at least 2 million people have to endure the darkness at night.

People have underestimated the damage caused by Sandy. It not only kills 50 people but also causes great economic loss. According to IHS, the material damage will reach 20 billion USD and the business loss will be between 10 and 30 billion USD.

May GOD bless the victims in the hurricane stricken areas!

We may not resist the powerful natural disaster but we can unite and get over quickly. I sincerely hope Sandy can go away immediately.
