So, about Hurricane Sandy...

[The Wandering Magus]

i wonder... was there any contingency plan if it happened DURING election week?  and made it so that nopony could get to the booths or submit their votes within the specified time period?

Halloween wasn't cancelled! It was a holiday miracle 

It was cancelled for us and moved to a later date  ((I'm just annoyed I have to wait even longer for free candies ))

Nobody cares about the sandstorms in egypt.WE LIVE IN THE DESERT.If I jump I fly.However sandy did kill a bunch of people , but still its nothing compared to the terror of the presidential debates.

[The Wandering Magus]

sandstorms are expected in sandy places, earthquakes in California, hurricanes in the warm humid areas, tornadoes in tornado alley, blizzards in the north, etc.  What's notable about Sandy was that it was so unexpected and had such a wide impact.  Hurricane in Florida?  Shame, yes, but it's somewhat expected around hurricane season.  Hurricane in the northeast, flooding Manhattan?  That's something that viewers don't expect, and thus newsworthy to a larger extent than a sandstorm in a sandy desert environment, even if the damage is comparable.

At this moment, they are going to be having national guards traveling around the hurricane hit areas with portable voting booth's. I don't trust the method, but it's better than nothing

I just got my power back after five days.

To be honest, we were very lucky considering a house a few houses over has a tree laying on it; that hardly being the worst of it.

The town over has the army running though it because of excessive looting.
The boardwalk by us is gone, along with numerous historical monuments.

Also, to be honest, from what Iv'e seen, Halloween and the election are the least of our concerns.

We also, apparently, have a storm coming on Wednesday.
Whee...
