Hurricane Sandy, the massive storm that battered the Northeast yesterday, is estimated to have an estimated cost of about $20 billion worth of damage. Power is out for millions, known deaths are in the double digits (and likely to rise sharply after things calm down), public transportation is disrupted on an unprecedented level, the U.S. Stock market is closed for the second day (the first time that it has ever done so for a weather-related reason), and ports were impacted, meaning that products shipped to the busy New York\/New Jersey shipyards have not made it to the US.<\/p>\n
