British songstress Cheryl Cole is relieved to have left New York City in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Headlines have been filled with news of the terrifying storm that recently devastated Northeastern areas of the US.

Cole took to her Twitter page earlier today to share her thoughts on the horrifying situation in America after spending time there when Sandy hit:

"So glad to be out of NYC ! Hurricane Sandy was one of the strangest experiences of my life . We take so much for granted.. My heart and prayers go out to everyone badly affected by the storm.. So Devastating (sic)."

Cole has also been busy with a Girls Aloud reunion. The five-piece recently released new single 'Something New' and announced a 12-date UK tour.

Speaking to Glamour magazine, Cole revealed: "I'm sure I'll be arguing with every girl in the group, but there's such a comfort there with the girls. The pressure isn't on just you."
