Perhaps you saw a few seconds of the amazing U.S. Coast Guard rescue of the crew of the HMS Bounty on the news. Here is a much longer version right from the Coast Guard of the daring rescue of the ship's crew during Hurricane Sandy.

We don't know how much Hurricane Sandy will affect us here in Western New York -- although some businesses and schools have already closed or postponed activities -- but she's already doing damage on the East Coast.

Some people hear the word "storm," and they head for the hills. Others hear it and decide it's time to dance.  Check out some of the best photobombs that have been taking place during the recent hurricane coverage.

Don't always believe everything Facebook tells you. If it was all true, do you have any idea how many dollars would've been donated to charity for liking that picture of a kitten? It can't be all true, and it's not. Here are some pictures of "Hurricane Sandy" circulating around that most certainly are NOT pictures of Hurricane Sandy, just to keep it all clear. You're welcome.

Thankfully, Western New York won't feel the full effects of Hurricane Sandy, but with wind gusts of at least 30 mph, there's a pretty good chance a lot of Halloween Jack-tivities around Western New York may be postponed until the storm passes.

Having listened to Channel 7's meteorologist Mike Randall, there is a pretty good chance that high wind and rain could cause downed power lines and outages in Western New York. Here are five steps to take prior to the approaching storm.

In case you missed it -- there's a storm a-brewin'! Hurricane Sandy is lurching her way up the coast, heading for us all. Yesterday, the MTA announced it was shutting down trains in NYC at 7 pm and buses at 9pm. Here are some pictures from their official Flickr page taunting us with how delightfully empty all the stations are right now.
