   McKitten and Hansen have promised us that if we repudiate greedy capitalist ways, be content to live on communes, grow organic food, sew love beads and sing folk songs by the camp fire while smoking grass, that evil man-made Frankenstorms like Sandy would never take place.

     The storms will be worse. Just like the historic ones that are recorded throughout history.

   Hurricane and snowstorm in Constantinople (Istanbul) in June of 1849:
   “DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.—In a letter dated Constantinople, Jun. 7, we find the following :—” On the 3rd of this month we had here one of those dreadful hurricanes which are only to be found in the annals of the West Indies. At half-past ten at night a heavy shower of rain fell, which was rapidly succeeded by a snow storm ; at about midnight it blew a thorough hurricane, which lasted till day-break. Never in the memory of man had such a storm burst over Constantinople.”
