As to the people in the East, not all are complaining.

WASHINGTON—Hurricane Sandy is expected to slam the East Coast and the federal government is shut down—but the U.S. servicemen who guard the outdoor Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery will remain on duty.

"They will not abandon their post," an employee who answered the Arlington Cemetery's phone confirmed to Yahoo News. He identified himself as "George," but was not authorized to speak on the record to the media.

The tomb, located just outside Washington, D.C., holds the remains of unidentified soldiers from World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

The elite sentinels selected to guard it have kept watch continuously at the site since 1948.

I'm watching The Weather Channel, and it's a lot more entertaining than the moronic shows on network TV...

Guys & gals out in the storm; 6 foot waves breaking behind them, in a parking lot!!!

two guys in an inflatable boat with sandbags, heading out to try to plug a breakwall...they're skimming across another parking lot...You can just see the tops of parking signs in the water...

The edge just hit here about 2 pm today (Western New York - Niagara Falls area)...Constant rain now, more forecast for the next 10 days...And wind, too, of course...

Wind + rain = downed power lines, trees blocking roadways, traffic lights out...

Oh wow - They're surfing on Lake Michigan!!!
