As Hurricane Sandy strikes in US…Hundreds of New York-bound passengers stranded here
– Airlines encouraging passengers to check websites for flight information
As New York braces for its biggest storm in recorded history, hundreds who came to Guyana are affected as flights out of here have been canceled pending forecasters’ approval in the United States. 
More than 60 million Americans at home in the Tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and others in Massachusetts are bracing for the impact of Hurricane Sandy after forecasters said it could be the biggest storm ever to hit the US mainland.
Caribbean Airlines and Delta Airlines began cancelling flights since Sunday and continued yesterday pending approval from New York to offer flights. Airlines providing flights to the New York area say that passengers have been in contact with their offices and contact numbers and other relevant information have been taken to keep passengers informed on the status of flights and bookings.
These Airlines are encouraging passengers to check their web sites for up-to-date flight information before heading for the airport.
Hurricane Sandy pounded the Bahamas four days ago after claiming 21 lives in the Caribbean, including 11 people killed in eastern Cuba.
The hurricane — now a category two storm — has wreaked havoc in Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas and Haiti, downing power lines, damaging hundreds of homes and ruining crops.
Forecasters warn that the massive hurricane now could merge with North American weather systems and could morph into a powerful hybrid that US media have dubbed a “Frankenstorm.”
