Google has canceled its Android event scheduled for Monday in New York City due to Hurricane Sandy, reports The Verge.
On Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency in response to the incoming storm, and Google's event was set to take place on a waterfront pier, which is now in an evacuation zone. Monday won't be a total loss, though: we'll be in San Francisco to cover Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 launch, which should be able to evade Sandy's wrath.
Google was expected to announce a new 10-inch tablet, a 3G version of the Nexus 7 tablet, a LG Nexus smartphone, and updates to Android at its event.

Google is just afraid that iPad Mini will make their event a day news.

Why yes, I am, son. I was listening to some prayers with constant self-praise, admiration for himself and riddled with superlatives. Turns out this Phil Schiller even convinced some of my angelic advisors to sign an exclusive for wireless in the afterlife.

Don't be silly. I expect Apple and every other company and person in the world to do the same. Safety of human life is paramount. If you truly believe that the event should go on as planned, then might I suggest that for your wedding or next big social event, you choose an evacuated area as the venue. Chernobyl perhaps.
