L'uragano Sandy, che minaccia la costa est degli Stati Uniti, fotografato dalla NASA in tutta la sua spaventosa imponenza.
Il New York Times segue in diretta l'arrivo della tempesta perfetta.
Massive and dangerous Hurricane Sandy has grown to record size as it barrels northeastwards along the North Carolina coast at 10 mph. At 8 am EDT, Sandy's tropical storm-force winds extended northeastwards 520 miles from the center, and twelve-foot high seas covered a diameter of ocean 1,030 miles across. Since records of storm size began in 1988, only one tropical storm or hurricane has been larger--Tropical Storm Olga of 2001, which had a 690 mile radius of tropical storm-force winds when it was near Bermuda.
