'Historic' storm set to slam Northeast; airlines cancel flights by, Harrison Epstein

Officials throughout the North East are making one thing very clear, to stay at home! Some people believe that the blizzard that is on its way could be one of the biggest in history. Many officials are warning people about travelling after around 10pm because the roads could be beyond dangerous. Some counties are even shutting down roads all together and putting a curfew for driving into place to help keep its residents safe from the storm. Even the National Weather Service, which is notorious for underrating storms has said that this is going to be a storm that could go down in history books and has deadly capabilities. Not to mention the fact that the storm has not even occurred yet and over 6,000 flights have been cancelled.  

This is one of those times that I am glad to live in Texas, but seriously, this is so terrifying to have a disaster head your way and have no way to stop it or escape its wrath. I think we all should give a little shout out to those in the North East who have to deal with this and hope that the casualties are not bad. The fact that this could make it into history books is so shocking and it reminds me of the Dust Bowl, and how the massive storms of dust came crashing through dry land as a result of poor farming techniques. While I am in no way blaming anyone for the storm, you have to wonder, did we do something to cause this? *cue twilight theme music*
