Post-storm anger grows, especially outside Manhattan | Reuters
Post-storm anger grows, especially outside Manhattan | Reuters: Frustration grew for superstorm Sandy's victims in the U.S. Northeast on Friday, many of whom were left with no power, no gasoline and little information about when their shattered lives might return to normal.
While Manhattan prepared to host the annual New York City Marathon on Sunday, acute gasoline shortages in the city's storm-battered outer boroughs and New Jersey led to long lines and short tempers. Tankers finally began entering New York Harbor on Thursday, and a tanker carrying 2 million barrels of gasoline arrived at 2 a.m. (0600 GMT) on Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said. Sandy, which brought a record storm surge to coastal areas, killed at least 102 people after slamming into the U.S. Northeast on Monday. Forty-one died in New York City, about half of them in Staten Island, which was overrun by a wall of water.

Hurricane Sandy socks New York City with winds, flooding, outages - NYPOST.com
Hurricane Sandy socks New York City with winds, flooding, outages - NYPOST.com: Hurricane Sandy blasted the New York area yesterday, killing at least nine people: three adults in Queens, a teenage girl on Staten Island, two on Long Island, one in Ulster County and three kids in Westchester.
The storm, its winds flirting with 100 mph, unleashed a wave of devastation from which it could take weeks to recover. In flooded lower Manhattan, water gushed into the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and cars were floating in the streets. There was no dry land anywhere in the Rockaways, where cops in the 100th Precinct station house were trapped on the building’s second floor. As Sandy reached land near Atlantic City, it was downgraded to a tropical storm after its winds weakened slightly.

This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996"

Yosemite waterfall turns to 'flowing lava' in rare February spectacle caught on camera
REPORT: A window of time just opened in Yosemite National Park when nature photographers wait, as if for an eclipse, until the moment when the sun and earth align to create a fleeting phenomenon.
This marvel of celestial configuration happens in a flash at sunset in mid-February — if the winter weather cooperates.
On those days the setting sun illuminates one of the park's lesser-known waterfalls so precisely that it resembles molten lava as it flows over the sheer granite face of the imposing El Capitan.
