Cincinnati, OH, October 31, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Top-ranked Disaster Relief Organization Prepares for Aftermath of “Perfect Storm”
Matthew 25: Ministries, a top-ranked international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization located in Cincinnati, OH, stands ready to respond to the devastation expected in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy, currently approaching the eastern US coastline, is expected to be the type of monster storm not seen in that region in 100 years. Sandy claimed more than 60 lives in the Caribbean prior to heading up the Eastern coast of the US and is currently tracking toward an area where more than 50 million people could be threatened with conditions the National Hurricane Center termed "life-threatening."
The storm is expected to attack the Northeastern US as early as Monday afternoon. The hurricane in on track to collide with a winter storm and a cold front as well as high tides from a full moon, bringing high winds, heavy rain, extreme tides and possibly snow. Effects of the storm could settle over the country's most heavily populated areas, impacting an area of approximately 800 miles and reaching as far west as Ohio. Experts predict there could be as much as $1 billion in damage to this densely populated area.
"We are looking at one of the worst storms on record that we've seen in this region," said Carl Parker, hurricane specialist for The Weather Channel. Tens of thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate and airlines have canceled more than 7,000 flights across the Northeast.
