Potential disaster of epic proportions

This storm has the potential to be a horrific event - a combination of 9/11, 9/18 (2008), Hurricane Katrina (2007) and Hurricane Wilma (2005).  There may be two feet of snow fall after the storm passes. I hope it doesn't come to this but these are some of the things that may happen:

• power outage for a week, shutting down NYC
• Wall Street also being closed for a week with a resulting crash (20%+ drop) of the stock market
• grocery stores being stripped bare, gas stations running out
• people being trapped without food or heat, and hundreds of deaths of elderly people
• alarms shutting down because of the lack of electricity, allowing widespread theft and looting
• airlines, which always have a razor-thin profit margin, in danger of going broke and asking for a bailout
• the election being postponed because voting places can't open
• riots and the National Guard patrolling the streets with machine guns

The aftermath of this may involve massive bailouts, again.
