Hurricane Sandy is like the gift that never stops giving, only instead of giving us something good like chocolate, it gives us something bad, like rabies. Basically, the MTA is still reeling from the effects of Sandy and her salt water-induced devastation. The News reports that the “MTA has to do $4.7 billion worth of repairs and component replacement work.

Awesome.
