News from the Fed Page

Jean Marie Brennan walks along the jetty at Lighthouse Point Park as Hurricane Sandy passes offshore in Ponce Inlet, Florida, October 26, 2012. Slow-moving Hurricane Sandy, a late season Atlantic storm unlike anything seen in more than two decades, slogged toward the U.S. East Coast on Friday after killing at least 31 people on a trail of destruction across the Caribbean. Forecasters said the storm, with an expanding wind field already 550 miles (890 km) wide, had begun merging with a polar air mass over the eastern United States, potentially spawning a 'hybrid' super storm that could wreak havoc along the U.S. East Coast.
