Hurricane Sandy, #Sandy, New York

Thirteen have been killed and 6 million people are without power this morning after Superstorm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline and hurled a record-breaking 13ft surge of seawater at New York.

@Standardnews tweets: "Great picture from Reuters of flood waters from Hurricane Sandy rush into the Port Authority Trans-Hudson's (PATH) Hoboken, New Jersey station through an elevator shaft. http://live.standard.co.uk/Event/Thread.aspx?Id=67505"

@_Adam_Rodriguez tweets: "I'm sending Love & positive thoughts 2 everyone on the east coast battling the aftermath of Sandy Take good care of urselves & each other!"

This Morning

Boyband One Direction will be appearing on This Morning. It appears that a large proportion of tweenage girls (and a few boys) care a lot about this.
