Excerpt:

The Category 1 cyclone is relocating north at 15 mph after relocating northeast Sunday night. Hurricane-force winds extend up to 175 miles from the storm's center. Gale force winds were stated over coastal North Carolina, southeastern Virginia, the Delmarva Peninsula and coastal New Jersey. Sandy has to do with 385 miles south-southeast of New York City and the center of the storm is anticipated to be near the mid-Atlantic coast on Monday night. It was anticipated to hook inland throughout the day, meeting with a wintry storm moving in from the west and cold air streaming below the Arctic. From Washington to Boston, huge cities and villages were buttoned up against the attack of Sandy, with forecasters alerting that the New York location might get the worst of it-- an 11-foot wall of water.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
