Yesterday we started seeing some frightening images of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in New York and other large portions of the United States East Coast.
The below video, just uploaded to YouTube, takes things to a whole new level! It was filmed by YouTube user imasharky. Standing by his front window, he managed to capture trees falling onto cars, and even a fire burning down the street! Our cameraman can also be heard saying, “this is the apocalypse!”
There are also some really incredible images in the gallery below – taken across the US yesterday. So far eight million people have been left without power. Doctors and nurses even had to carry patients down 15 flights of stairs after a hospital emergency generator failed. Subway stations and tunnels have been flooded, and more reports of widespread fires and exploding power stations have started to come in.
