Eastern United States preparing for Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane SANDY is over Bermuda and expected to move northeast hitting the northeastern part of the United States Sunday through Wednesday. The National Hurricane Center has reported that Sandy could intensify depending on the potential combination of weather systems. However, even if the storm downgraded to a tropical storm, these areas are expected to experience very high winds, heavy rain and storm surges.

Travellers should monitor local weather reports and seek shelter when necessary. Travellers should avoid travelling in affected areas since essential services, including transportation, may be disrupted.
