Over in New Haven, Connecticut, a 100-year-old oak tree was uprooted during the recent storm - and hanging up amid the root-ball was a human skull, with spinal cord and rib cage attached. The upper town green, where the tree is located, was formerly a cemetery that may have contained between 5,000 and 10,000 bodies. The headstones were ultimately moved to a different location, but the bodies were not relocated.
Scores of Democrats have abandoned area search and rescue efforts; focusing instead upon recovery, in a desperate bid to register as many voters as possible prior to next Tuesday.
