See what one app reveals about Manhattan power outages and cell service

The popular location-tracking app FourSquare, which “checks” users into certain locations based on GPS, shows the areas most impacted in Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy struck New York City four days ago.

This image gives a visual representation of how many people were “checking” into establishments and where before Sandy hit. A few days after the storm shows a stark difference with a hole right over Lower Manhattan, which was one of the areas most drastically impacted by flood waters and power outages.

    Wow. Perhaps the Four Square Mayors can start checking in for duty. Bloomberg has obviously checked out.

    I may have missed it but I wonder if others like me have read “The Harbinger” and are viewing this fallout from “Sandy” realizing it is God’s work. The protections have been removed from a nation that has broken the covenant made by our founder at (near) ground zero. Look at how the people are behaving. Turning to their “leaders”. This is not our first warning. The locations are not a coincidence. Turning to God more is the answer. Believe.
