Hurricane Sandy

[Wilson Gray]

"Storm-surge" is now "water-rise." _Water-rise_ seems to be a very
recent coinage, since the Weather Channel has been continually
explaining its meaning, - "storm-surge" - for the past couple of days.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
