Second Generation Fox Reporter Peter Doocy Suffers Sad Sandy-Related Wipeout

Kate Bennert · 10/29/12 12:01PM

Peter Doocy, a "Fox News General Assignment reporter" and son of the notable Fox and Friends personality Steve Doocy, brings us the first reporter wipeout related to Hurricane Sandy.

We recommend you read the following pieces (and write it all down on a piece of paper in case the power goes out).

Public Transportation Shut Down in New York as East Coast Inches Closer to Apocalypse

Hurricane Sandy is currently enjoying a nice leisurely Sunday off the coast of South Carolina as she prepares for her jaunt up the coast en route to the finest cities the East Coast has to offer (and, yes, I mean Atlantic City). Current projections show that Sandy should be touching down in South Jersey around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning — she is expected to cross the state into Pennsylvania before heading north through western New York into Canada, where she will presumably stay if Mitt Romney has defeated Barack Obama.

NASA has released time-lapse footage of Hurricane Sandy — 1/3 of Frankenstorm, this week's hottest buzz band — as it hovered over Grand Bahama Island on Friday.

The likelihood that the East Coast will be clobbered by Frankenstorm (more correctly: Frankenstorm's Monster), perhaps starting as early as Sunday is 90% as of yesterday. Most people here have resigned themselves to the fact that they and their loved ones soon will be washed out to sea, and just as Apple was beginning to experiment with new, excitingly-sized products (bummer).
