Beach goers watch waves generated by Hurricane Sandy along a breezy Coligny Beach Park on Hilton Head Island, S.C., Saturday morning, Oct. 27, 2012. Hurricane Sandy _ upgraded again Saturday just hours after forecasters said it had weakened to a tropical storm _ was barreling north from the Caribbean and was expected to make landfall early Tuesday near the Delaware coast, then hit two winter weather systems as it moves inland, creating a hybrid monster storm.

Residents in the storm’s path are boarding up windows and stocking up on supplies before Sandy’s predicted landfall early Tuesday near the Delaware coast.

Here’s a look at AP photos of the storm and preparations so far in the U.S.:
