Hurricane Sandy has come through NYC with a mighty storm that coincided with a high tide and full moon for a "perfect combo" of subway-flooding awfulness.
But we knew about it, way in advance, because somehow our computers could tell a week ago that this storm would manage to strengthen in combination with a cold air mass, thanks to high pressure over Greenland and warm water in the Atlantic, plus some horrendous timing.
Manhattan flooded, but the subway was already closed, and the the tunnels/bridges as well. We were ready (at least mostly ready) and amongst the damage and destruction, that's something to cherish as we hold our loved ones a little closer.
