Some places are not as affected as other places, at least in Canada. Out west in BC, they're on a fault line so they're more likely to get earth quakes. Much of Ontario and the Prairies in the midwest get tornadoes but the impact of tornadoes is not as widespread, and the Atlantic provinces on the coast get hurricanes and the remnants of hurricanes that travel up the coast. There's also a risk of ice storms and severe snow storms and blizzards in the more northern parts. As far as I know, there are no active volcanoes in Canada.

I'm jealous, we only have flooding.

I'm a good couple hours out of the range of this thing. The worst we'll get is a week of rain and wind. Good luck to everyone affected by this.

I've been watching it on the news for the first time and its shocking and sad to see just how many people have died.

I was hoping to not go to school at all this week, but it didn't happen. We already don't go to school Friday, so we've just gotta go tomorrow (2 Hour Delay), and Thursday. Virginia dodged a big bullet. We could've got hit a lot worse. Anybody got any storm pictures? (No nude pictures of Sandy now

)

Engine, I don't understand that picture.
Are they saying the storm is as big as Europe, or that if it was over here Paris would be history? I don't think we've been affected --- few high winds, nothing special, and we often get the "tail end" of hurricanes and such, so I'm a little mystified. Have I missed the point totally?

I think that image is just to demonstrate the size of the storm to Europeans.

Since Wall Street was shut down, they need to show the affected in the area (your region of the globe) the scope of it from their perspective.
