The yanks are soooo excited. Sandy is coming… and they can’t get enough of  it.  All the TV channels are abuzz with  hurricane news and updates.  If it fizzles out when it gets to New York it will be a massive downer – the commentators won’t know what to do.

We are getting blow by blow descriptions of what is happening, shots of big waves coming into Chatham which just south of Boston.

Waves crashing into Chatham.

Guys standing in water where waves are lapping at their knees – you name it, they’re doing it. Dramatic TV. But then again, our yankee friends always love  drama.
