Hurricane Sandy's outer bands pummeled the East Coast on Monday with howling winds, torrential downpours and storm surges that authorities warned could bring widespread devastation.
"This is the most catastrophic event that we have faced and been able to plan for in any of our lifetimes," Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy said.
The storm's center was expected to make landfall by early evening along or just south of the southern New Jersey coast.
An expected storm surge at midnight could raise water levels to 11 feet above normal high tide, bringing "the potential to cause unprecedented damage."
By Monday afternoon, more than 765,000 electric customers in seven states had already lost power.
Zeuren wij een beetje omdat je dit weekend je winterjas aan moest doen maar wat ik begrijp zullen de gevolgen van Sandy wel behoorlijk zijn. Irene leek vorig jaar bijna een loos alarm. "Leuke" beelden nu op CNN.
