Mysterious Man in Horse Mask Running Shirtless Through Storm Could be Best Hurricane Vid So Far

With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on Washington, DC and several parts of the capitol already underwater, most DC residents have likely taken to holing themselves up indoors, away from the wind and rain, and where falling trees/power lines are least likely to hit them in the head.
