Residents wait in line to pick up bags of sand which were being distributed by the local water & sewer authorities in downtown Washington, DC October 28, 2012 ahead of Hurricane Sandy's landfall as flooding was expected throughout parts of the US capital. 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 in the week, possibly causing chaos during the frenzied last days of campaigning before the November 6 US presidential vote.
