NEW YORK — The Weather Channel had its
third straight day of a round-the-clock vigil for the approaching
superstorm, and the tone of its meteorologists turned more ominous
Sunday with evidence building that their forecasts would come true.
The network is planning to live-stream its
television coverage online so people in the eastern United States who
lose power can keep up with the news on their mobile devices. The storm
is expected to affect some 50 million people.
