Keri Boyce's dogs Lucky (L) and Fluke (2L) sit in kennel cages within the hallway of Cape Henlopen High School which is being used as a Red Cross shelter in Lewes, Delaware, October 28, 2012, after their owner was evacuated from her hom due to Hurricane Sandy's eminent landfall in the area. US emergency officials braced for the potentially massive impact of a so-called "Frankenstorm" Sunday as Hurricane Sandy lumbered north in the Atlantic Ocean, poised to hit the eastern seaboard with torrential rains and gale-force winds. The superstorm was expected to make landfall somewhere between Virginia and Massachusetts early Tuesday, possibly causing chaos during the frenzied last days of campaigning before the November 6 US presidential vote. As it churned in a northeasterly direction, the massive weather system was at category one strength, the lowest-level hurricane on the five-tiered Saffir-Simpson scale, with maximum sustained winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
