Men walk cross a bridge over rushing flood waters caused by Hurricane Sandy in Port-au-Prince. Sandy barreled toward the Bahamas on Thursday as a powerful Category 2 storm, after battering Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba and claiming three lives so far. The U.S.-based National Hurricane Center said the storm was packing winds of up to 105 miles per hour as it moved north, near the top of the Category 2 range on the five-rung Saffir-Simpson wind scale. Forecasters predicted the storm would weaken somewhat over the next 48 hours. But Sandy will remain a hurricane as it passes over the Bahamas, according to the NHC.
