If you get the opportunity to read this article and are in the path of the storm named Sandy (I suggest you do so quickly) then be sure to take a look at the hash-tags in the twitter feeds planning to gather and do looting. #Sandy.

I don’t say this to scare people, because I don’t believe we are to live in nor react out of fear.
