See my post 16. Click on satellite with animation. Center it and zoom as necessary.

Thanks.

That's just the latest installment of this incredible freight train of moisture we've been getting for the last couple of weeks east of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon. West of the mountains it's pretty normal but not over here. The precipitation storm totals are nothing like Sandy but an inch or two this time of year is unusual for the arid Columbia Basin. Prior to this hadn't really rained for many, many months.

It’s not hyperbole. Look at the damn storm tracks. A storm has never moved like this before, and it’s the perfect location to just pile water into NYC.

Well i was more than re-assured that Obama is at the WH monitoring this live.

It might be more than Benghazi. For some reason they want the most powerful part of our nation evacuated. Finance, politics, and commerc are essentially going to be shut down for all next few days, even if zippo storm shows up....

Or, yes, we got a serios storm brewing. And, it just a coincidence”.....

lol

with drones?

The Euro model has been correct since 8 days ago. Our weather service has fallen down and the warnings really were too late. I admit last weekend I shrugged, but by Tuesday it had my attention.

Bambers has no bullets in his gun and Hillary doesn’t know what a gub is.

I would agree with your statement to an extent. We can't say a storm has never done this. I think the Colonial Hurricane back in 1635 was worse.

However, I have not seen or studied a modern storm like this....and I've been doing this 25 years. The size is record in the Atlantic. The storm will most likely set pressure records (and if it doesn't...it will be within a couple of MBs)...it will also set surge records or be VERY close to it.

So if that doesn't make it rare...I don't know what does. NOW...add to that the fact it will hit the Jersey coast moving W-WNW. Add ALL of that up...and it makes it a storm that is rare...maybe once in every 500 years will you see all of that come together.

This storm, real or not is being used to cover over Benghazi. The media is using it to drown out the real story.

One suspects that the WH is directing the (alleged) news media to use the storm to (as you aptly say) drown out the Benghazi-gate uber scandel.

True. I have been following the drought monitor and was surprised with the rainfall issues.

[Gabz]

Streets were flooding at high tide THIS MORNING on Chincoteague Island, VA and Ocean City, MD because of the surge and the impending full moon of Monday night........won’t even bother getting into what Virginia Beach and areas around it look like right now.

The pictures I saw from high tide on Chincoteague tonight told me all I need to know - and I’m only 9 miles west of there. I’m also only 9 east of the Chesapeake Bay and those surges are going to get worse after the seaside gets better.

[Pox]

Never is an absolute term. Consider the amount of time we have had satellites and also consider that we have records that go back what, a few hundred years? Never, ever?

[GeronL]

Have you no empathy, thsir??

Dun’t you know that hyperbole for the greater good is warranted in such a sitsuashion??

For the sake of all that is holy, PEOPLE ARE GETTING WET!! This is the worst cat-apostrophe in the whole history of the WORLD!!

We need Barack Obama, mmm mmm mmm, to calm the waters as promised! Where is Obama??

[The Cajun]

the sound and the fury...you never forget the sound

True that, Betsy and Andrew, you never forget the roar, howl of the wind, have never heard a similar sound.

[tsowellfan]

It's a track made by someone who is obviously not a meteorologist.

We were told something similar not long after the Japanese Tsunami by so called "nuclear scientists" who told us to go to bed and get under the covers but don't expect Godzilla to be coming anytime soon. "the microwave in my kitchen makes more radiation than is coming out of Fukushima." LOL LOL

I live in the area, I know how tropical storms and hurricanes can be unpredictable. While I think those people in the targeted area should indeed prepare as they are I'm still not believing their predictions 100%.

And since I live on the coast north of the target, I don't think it's a bad thing for me to prepare for the worst.

I've seen the target move north before.

Take off the tin foil hat before you start buying into the Global Warming stuff as well.

[GeronL]

right, blame the moon. Somehow when a bigger part of the moon is reflecting the sun the moons gravity gets stronger or something??

Something to think about. The area under impact is very blue. What if the power goes out? What if there is no TV? Life gets rough? People are going to want to strike out if they have the energy to get to the polls. Power will be out for many and for an extended period.

The government can't fix this. The government can't save the people in the urban centers. This is what the rest of the country is going to see. Game it.

I cannot believe your posts. You aren’t going to be hit by this thing but some of our FRiends and family are!

If you can’t have any empathy for what people will be going through then maybe you should get off the thread!

Obviously none of your family is in danger. If they were you might care a tiny bit.
