More than 60 million Americans are braced for the impact of Hurricane Sandy after forecasters said it could be the biggest storm ever to hit the US mainland.
Hurricane Sandy: America braces for biggest storm in history.
New York’s rail, subway and bus services, which are used by 8.5 million people daily, are being suspended amid fears that tunnels could flood. The New York Stock Exchange announced it will close its physical trading floor for the first time since 1985, and make transactions only electronically on Monday. The storm is expected to hit an 800-mile-wide swathe of north-east America that includes the cities of New York, Washington, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia, bringing 80mph winds.
