Sandy whips through the Caribbean

In the Bahamas, they're boarding up windows, and stocking up on grocceries and other supplies ahead of the hurricane. Sandy is expected to hit the central Bahamas with winds of up to 105 miles per hour.

The hurricane is gaining strength after tearing through Jamaica knocking down powerlines and killing three people.

Teams were hard at work repairing the damage and police officers lined the road to keep traffic moving on the road leading into Kingston.

Sandy is headed for the U.S. and is expecting to drop below hurricane strength before making landfall next week on the East Coast.
