This may be one of the craziest videos from Superstorm Sandy yet.

YouTube user imasharky posted a video, filmed from his front window, of three trees falling onto cars and a fire burning down the street

“This is the apocalypse,” the cameraman opens the video by saying. Although the video is narrated with a rather jovial tone, it shows an incredibly dangerous and scary situation.
