NEW YORK & BOSTON: Hurricane Sandy, the Atlantic's largest-ever tropical storm, will strike the East Coast today with a life-threatening surge, emptying the streets of the nation's largest cities and lashing a region of 60 million with gales, rain and even snow.
The storm, 900 miles across, shut the federal government and state administrations from Virginia to Massachusetts. It halted travel, prevented US stock markets from opening and upended the presidential campaign. It may cause more than US$6 billion in damage and knock out power to 10 million for a week or more.
