Employees help out, and you can too.

The donations are headed to Hurricane Sandy-ravaged areas in New Jersey and Long Island. Want to join the relief efforts? Donate to the Red Cross through AOL's Network for Good page.

Northern Illinois' weather will be affected by Hurricane Sandy as it hits the East Coast, keeping the cold Canadian air from leaving the Midwest, says the National Weather Service
Hurricane Sandy is expected to slam into the East Coast late Monday or early Tuesday, and the storm could batter a region that's home to 50 million people with 4-to-11-foot waves, 75-mph winds, a foot of rain and even snow in some states. Northern Illinois will be affected, too, says the National Weather Service as it tracks the path of Hurricane Sandy. The cooler air over the Chicago area, courtesy of a large Canadian high pressure system, will likely stay through the middle of next week, its escape blocked by Sandy. Track the Path of Hurricane Sandy via the National Hurricane Center. "As Sandy moves north to our latitude and slows, it will halt the west-to-east progress of high and low pressures across the Midwest and western Great …
