"The US National Hurricane Center has increased the severity of Hurricane Sandy to a Category 2 hurricane, warning of potential dangers for Eastern Coastal regions in the upcoming week. The storm started off in eastern areas of Cuba and moved north through Jamaica, as well as much of the Caribbean. With tropical winds of up to 104 mph, Sandy has left homes damaged and delicate crops in poor condition. Sandy-related weather can be felt in areas as far as 700 - 800 miles away. As of now, at least two deaths have been reported, one in the town of Camp Perrin, Haiti, and another in Jamaica due to flash flooding. Government scientists have voiced concerns over the storm&amp;#039;s 70% chance of directly hitting the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Heavy rain, flooding and even snow showers could put a damper on Halloween and Election Day festivities. Although meteorologists predicted a strong storm many days ago, their forecasts seem to still be accurate as the hurricane date approaches. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
