At least 46 people are dead, 23 of them in New York, 6 in New Jersey, 5 in Pennsylvania, 4 in Connecticut, 2 each in Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and 1 each in North Carolina and Puerto Rico. Before coming North to the East coast of the U.S., Hurricane Sandy was blamed for 68 death in the Caribbean. At least four towns in New Jersey were submerged up to 6 feet of water due to a levee braking during the intense storm. Evacuations plans are being put together in Hoboken, New Jersey for the estimated 20,000 people that still remain trapped in their homes; they are hoping for proper equipment by Wednesday morning. In Queens, New York, a massive fire broke out and destroyed at least 110 homes and damaged 20 others, the severe weather made it difficult for firefighters to reach the blaze. Hurricane Sandy was definitely an intense storm that continued to get worse as other factors contributed, such as the high tide and the cold front mixing with the storm. This cold front may cause 6 to 12 inches of snow in some areas; more of the U.S. than just the East coast will be affected by this storm.
