Hurricane Sandy update

Tuesday 30 October 2012 6:20AM (view full episode)

The effects of Hurricane Sandy are already being felt on the US east coast, well before the storm actually makes landfall.

Sandy will merge with a winter storm from the west. Arctic winds from the north and full-moon high tides make this a deadly storm.

It is heading towards the most densely populated part of the US, with cities like New York, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia in its path.
