Hurricane Sandy promises to be a strong, costly storm, experts say
Regardless of its official category, Sandy is expected to be a monstrous storm that poses a serious threat for the entire Eastern Seaboard.
"hurricane sandy" Hurricane Sandy bore down on the East Coast Saturday, on its way to becoming an unprecedented superstorm that could pummel the city and leave millions of people in the Northeast without power.
Residents across the region scrambled to prepare for the onslaught of weather, stocking up on supplies while city officials mulled whether to order evacuations of low-lying areas and the suspension of the mass transit system.
Gov. Cuomo instructed the MTA to prepare for a shutdown, but the final decision about closing the subway and bus system won't come until Sunday night.

"The bottom line on this is we're planning for the worst and hoping for the best," said MTA Chairman Joe Lhota. "I think it's very important that all of the New Yorkers know what is the possibility, with the critical date being 7 p.m. tomorrow night," he said.

A systemwide shutdown — which happened only once before, during Hurricane Irene last summer — would take several hours to go into effect, with the final train coming to a stop around 3 a.m. Monday. Commuter rails would also go dark and MTA-run bridges would be shut down if winds eclipse more than 60 mph, effectively grinding the city to a halt.
