A squally wind hit the North-East of USA this Saturday, leaving about 450 thousand consumers without electricity. The strongest blow came on New York and New Jersey states, the wind power the record 450 km per hour, leaving 265 thousand people without electricity. The ferry communication with the New York district of Staten Island has been temporarily stopped. In New Jersey, railway communication has been stopped because of a flood. The Logan airport in Boston, Massachusetts accepted 9 liners that were to land in New York, for their pilots didn’t have enough fuel to wait while the staff of the Kennedy airport in New York clears the landing field. Among these liners is the passenger double-decker Aerobus A-380 – the world’s largest airplane.  In Pennsylvania and Connecticut communication is also broken, electric wires torn, many trees fallen down. There are no reports of human casualties.
