Huffington Post: Hurricane Sandy: In Connecticut, Storm Leaves Mess Of Downed Trees And Flooded Roadways

Posted: 30 Oct 2012 11:10 AM PDT

Connecticut awoke Tuesday to a mess of tangled trees and submerged roads in coastal areas, leaving more than a half-million households without power across the state.

The floodwaters from Long Island Sound filled basements and crept into some homes in low-lying areas, but the surge appeared to spare homes closest to the coast from catastrophic structural damage. Many waterfront homes sit behind behind fortified seawalls or are built on higher ground.

Flooding and fallen trees overnight rendered many roads impassable. Streets closest to the water in towns such as Fairfield, Westport and Norwalk remained submerged. Residents and police were using pontoon boats to check on residents.

Posted: 30 Oct 2012 11:11 AM PDT

MoveOn.org's latest entry into the world of political advertising uses the uncomfortable yet strangely amusing concept of profane senior citizens to encourage viewers to participate in get-out-the-vote efforts ahead of Election Day.

We'll let the video speak for itself, but if you're morally opposed to hearing a 97-year-old threaten to "burn this motherf***er down" if voter suppression tactics allow GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney to win the election, you should probably not click play.

(Video above. Caution: NSFW language.)

Huffington Post: Space Shuttle Enterprise Exposed After Sandy Barrels Through Northeast (PHOTOS)

Posted: 30 Oct 2012 11:17 AM PDT

Portions of the space shuttle Enterprise have been left exposed after superstorm Sandy ripped through the Northeast Monday. The shuttle is usually enclosed in the Space Shuttle Pavilion, a structure on the deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

On Tuesday, Twitter users sent photos of the exposed space shuttle, which sits atop the decommissioned aircraft carrier. The climate-controlled nylon bubble, which The New York Post reports is like the kind used to enclose indoor tennis courts, appears to have collapsed, revealing the space shuttle's nose and tail.
