As hurricane Sandy crashed into the North East yesterday many people found themselves without power. Because of this power outage many websites that are headquartered on the east coast were and still are down. For a while The Huffington Post's website was down, and Gawker Media's blog sites are all still down as of noon central time Tuesday 10/30. To understand the impact that Sandy has had on the East Coast The New York Times posted several info graphics and accompanying images, here. The Huffington Post reported that 33 people are dead in New York City, and there is standing water in the subways under the East River. According to the Huffington Post, Joseph Lhota, chairman of the regional Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said the damage was the worst in the 108-year history of the New York subway. Sandy even caused blizzards in Maryland and West Virginia.
