Meteorologists are predicting that Hurricane Sandy, which is heading up through the Bahamas at 105 miles per hour will combine with a cold front coming in from the West and create a potentially devastating phenomenon they've terrifyingly named Frankenstorm.

Last year, when Hurricane Irene was about to hit the East Coast, Grace gave you some tips on how to survive the storm. I thought I would create my own list of things you'll need to do in order to survive the wrath of Frankenstorm.

1. Trader Joe's Box of Wine - You might not be able to leave your apartment for the duration of the storm, so you're going to want to stock up on booze. This lovely box contains 4 BOTTLES OF WINE and only costs $10. They claim it keeps the wine fresh for up to 45 days, but something tells me it won't last that long.

2. Television Show Box Set - You're going to have to entertain yourself during the storm, so you want to stock up on TV shows to watch. Me, I'm getting the complete box set of Gilmore Girls to keep me company. The only debris that's gonna be flying around my house will be the witty repartee between Rory and Lorelai!

3. Candles - You need to be prepared for emergencies during hurricanes. Candles are essential in the event that you lose power. But why just get boring old regular candles? Why not spice up your power outage? That's why I'm getting a bunch of Yankee Candles for the storm. That way if I lose power, I'll not only be able to see but my entire house will be pleasantly scented like Peppermint Bark!

That's it, that's all you need to get through Frankenstorm. Good luck and happy hurricane-ing!

1. This apartment building (pictured above) lost its FACE. Holy shit. It just crumbled like someone had cast a spell on the building to turn the wall to dust. There's amazing video of the wall disappearing.

2. This crane dangling above midtown Manhattan. Holy shit. Watch the video. It snaps and bends backwards like it's a drag queen doing a drop.

3. This picture of Ground Zero getting flooded. It's a waterfall. In Manhattan. A WATERFALL IN MANHATTAN.

4. The flooded subways. I like to overreact, and all of a sudden I had visions of becoming Keira Knightley in that one scene in Atonement. Spoiler Alert if you haven't seen that film, but THIS happens.

5. This plastic bag. I saw it stuck in the tree outside my window sometime on Monday morning, and it was STILL THERE AFTER THE HURRICANE. Like, HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??? That's nuts. That's not right. I can't explain it, so it freaks me out.

Were you guys freaked out? Did you miss My Damn Channel LIVE? We're not going to be able to do the LIVE show again today, since all public transit is still down, and Beth still has wine to drink at home. What did you guys do during the hurricane? Are you all okay?

1. Hurricane Sandy. The Frankenstorm. It will affect millions of people along the East Coast. Are you in the path of the storm? It's scary, for sure. But you still shouldn't be alerting the authorities to the fact that you plan on coping during the hurricane with illegal substances. Come on, now, y'all.

2. The San Francisco Giants won the World Series! They swept the Detroit Tigers to become the 2012 World Series Champions. And then there was rioting. Because nothing says "I'm so happy we won!" like climbing on buses and lighting things on fire.

3. Joss Whedon decided to come out in support of Mitt Romney AND the impending zombie apocalypse.

4. Argo was finally the top film at the box office this weekend. It only took three weeks!

5. Lindsay Lohan tried to invite Lady Gaga to our friend Tyler Oakley's live chat over the weekend. How fetch!
