Your name is Sandy
The say you are so strong
But no sweet like a candy
Or deducing like a love song…
Like your twin sister Irene,
You are rapidly coming our way
With a devastating strength
And you send your ferocious wind
To let us all know
That you will be here soon!
Mean girl, for you we are ready
To fight you to the end!
Trains and buses suspended,
Schools and public places closed
While streets are deserted
Foods, water and medicine storage
Waiting to be used
In this approaching moment of truth!
Mandatory evacuation enforced,
Firefighters, police and ambulances
Are ready for action when needed!
Now, together we all pray
That the Lord spares this great city
From the grasp of this mean girl
Named Sandy
We ask the whole World to pray
For the brothers and sisters
In the other side of the globe!
Amen!

Very nice appeal for calming down this daughty girl, Sandy. Nice description of the calamity as people waited after enforced evacuation.
