As I understand it this was the main reason for the power going off in the flooded districts. The electric utilities have been trying to preserve equipment by removing the electrical power that combined with the salt would have caused much more extensive damage.
Thanks for that explanation. :tu:

"squid" or "squib" - I've been getting the term wrong for years!

Anyhow - it still doesn't seem to me to be of the rank of 'super-storm'.

I'll await updates.
I thought a squib was a type of explosive.

This goes to prove how powerful mother nature is.

I have removed several off-topic posts. Stay on topic and refrain from personal attacks or infractions will be issued.

I know that this storm was terribly inconvenient for the US.

However, does anyone remember that before it hit the good old US of A that it has actually killed 60 odd people and damaged at least 17,000 homes In Cuba and Haiti ?

I know they're poor and insignificant, so who cares ?

Also they are not American and thus it's less likely to be a story. People relate to people from similar cultures and experiences, it's just the way it is. It's also not new, death occurs on a massive scale daily in Africa and beyond and we don't cover that too much either.

I'm sure we are all suitably chastened but lets not start another flame war.

No, I predicted a non- event, which so often happens.

I also posted that I had got it wrong, I take it you didn't see that one.

It seems even a lot of Republicans are talking in hushed tones of global warming now and that these freak weather patterns are becoming more common place.

Link please.

On the personal side, family in upstate New York are all fine - thankfully, have some damage to properties but we are sending crews up to sort that out. No tenants injured,which is the main thing. :) Was going to post in happy thread but saw this, so linked two together .
