Frustration Builds in Parts of New York

Gas Lines May Stretch for Weeks

It is thought that over one half the gas stations in New York and New Jersey have been affected ny Sandy.

So with power out at many stations the lines are long at those that are operating.

Some of these lines are up to 10 blocks long.

More Superstorms to Come

Superstorm Sandy was no freak, say experts, but rather a hint of a coming era when millions of Americans will struggle to survive killer weather.

They're telling us we shouldn't be surprised that this 900-mile-wide monster marched up the East Coast this week paralyzing cities and claiming scores of lives.

"It's a foretaste of things to come," Princeton University professor Michael Oppenheimer told CNN. "Bigger storms and higher sea levels" will pile on to create a "growing threat" in the coming decades.

And New York, he warned, "is highly vulnerable."
