Sandy Bloody Sandy

Well it had to happen I suppose: the chaos caused by Hurricane Sandy has persuaded me to cancel my Long Island trip for the doowop festival which, as I write, may or may not take place. This is the second overseas trip in succession that I've been denied after buying the plane ticket: last month I was due to fly to Madrid from Manchester but got stuck in a three hour tailback on the A34 and couldn't get there. Hopefully 2013 will bring me better luck.
Anyway, the last blog on doowop favourites attracted quite a bit of interest and various top tens by blog readers. Gordon has now suggested a weather related top ten, as follows:
