Just watched PBS's program, NOVA, "Inside the Superstorm" about Sandy. It is well worth watching. Check local listings or watch on line at:

Thanks, Chris, though I'm sure I won't have the heart to watch. It's so sad in parts of the area. Some report said that 50 million people were in the path of this storm, and if that's so, that's a fourth of the population of the United States. Meanwhile, 60 percent of the U.S. is in drought conditions. Anyone who thinks that global climate change is a political issue is asleep. Anyone who thinks it's "too expensive" to change our ways and live with less carbon dioxide wasn't watching the destruction. One thing I have to say, in a calmer voice, is that NOAA called it exactly. Up to a few hours before the storm, just looking at the system gave no indication that it would change tracks and veer west, but the computer models figured it out days in advance. They definitely saved thousands of lives because all those people were evacuated.
