What has been said OVER AND OVER again ( to those listening) about the wind is tropical storm force with gusts to hurricane force...especially on the southwest side. But because of the leaves on the trees...you are looking at massive power outages.
How is a record surge into NYC an overhype? Irene caused 15 BILLION in damage and this will certainly top that when it is all said and done.
I think anything that causes 15-20+ Billion in damage is worth attention.
wetness to the infidels and unbelievers?
/sarcasm
Does anyone have a link to where the hurricane’s current position is updated frequently?
I plan on watching for a while tonight to see if it makes the big left turn.
I think it’s visually like the red sea parting scene in the 10 Commandments with Obamamessiah parting the waters of the seas he has raised to provide his beloved media with the images they need such that there need be no further discussion of Libya.
Never ever done what? Rain?
I didn’t say you did - but I was just disagreeing with your prediction and if you remember, you didn’t exactly blow off the poster last night claiming it was being made up by an Obama government agency.
Here’s an interesting piece of bureaucratic BS from the NHC:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/news/20121027_pa_sandyTransition.pdf
It was reported sometime on Sunday that the NHC was keeping Sandy at hurricane strength because so they could continue to issue warnings and information on it, rather than passing it off to the NWS (another branch of NOAA). This is the source of that report.
It should be called “Hurricane Save Obama”. It is the excuse not to cover Benghazi.
But it ain’t gonna help him.
At 11:00PM there was water up to the boardwalk at Belmar. It was flooding streets in Bayshore Long Island and the center was still 450 miles SSE. When it comes ashore in NJ thetropical storm winds will reach to Portland Maine. This is a freak of nature. Part hurricane. Part nor’easter. And the noreaster part is what will do the damage and a lot of it.
Moved from east to west bringing a record-setting low pressure, massive storm surge right into New York Harbor, and a good 24-36 hours of tropical storm conditions.
This ain’t gonna bail The Disaster out.
When it gets 24-7 coverage to the exclusion of other big stories, it IS an overhype.
I never said it wasn’t a big and important storm.
But $15-20 Billion is chump change compared to the damage that the Democrats are doing. :p
Why bring up NYC? I wouldn’t care if it became the new Atlantis. I am not having sympathy, I know that Bloomberg will save NYC by banning salt water or something anyway. lol
Some of the ones from last night make these look like child’s play.
I may not be a meteorologist, but have been paying attention to weather and patterns ffecting where I live for 30 years and really concentrating on it for the past 15 or so.
No, the reason why Hurricane Sandy won’t land in the US is that Obama threatened to shoot it down if it came in illegally.
Nah. Let’s try again. Obama promised America that he would pursue the truth as to who was behind the hurricane attack on the US and that he would bring them to justice, along with that film maker.
Now that’s more like it.
Sandy...latest drop near center had 950MB with 11 kts of wind...so probably 949 or 948 MB now. Movement b/w last 2 VDM's is 010 degrees. So...its now moving north. Winds at FL were 102kts in the SW quad.
Saw plenty of election coverage today.....
75 mph winds, not so much... Surge - N.O. experienced a 30' surge during Katrina. Almost three times your highest prediction of 11' at high tide.
Survivor Camille here too...as a 12 year old...at Pass Road in Long Beach...near Rich Ave...190 MPH sustained....the train tracks hump saved a lot of folks in that area..anyone beach side of tracks was in trouble...floating homes and what not
28 foot sustained surge with velocity over a flat coastal sound plain...water rolled up from the Mississippi Sound which averages 12 foot depth
the sound and the fury...you never forget the sound
Rich ave has been dirt since Katrina..old bungalows all gone..a few of the live oaks left
I hope am I not wrong but this is a media event compared to big killer storms
24 hour weather and news pumps up everything..not just hurricanes
a storm like Camille or Katrina or Andrew is a whole nother matter
something like that hit Long Island coast and it would be the catostrophe they all imagine but given the latitudes that is just never likely....rare
something like 3 truly big storms since early 1800s to make landfall above the Carolinas
not to say a lot of rain can’t make problems
or Sheepshead bay or the Rockaways might not get flooded or inland folks get flooded and lose power...yes
but a strong storm with biblical implications it is not
yet every single time anything from 50 miles an hour up hits at 75 degrees west the media in the path makes it all about them
the Mississippi Gulf Coast is still a wasteland mostly 7 years later...that is a bigger story...but never was
but if the NE megapolis ever does have another true serious storm...not so late season
given how much their demographics are questionable...I would get my family outta there...and it’s so damned crowded...it gives a scenario right out of Matt’s books
down here we know how to deal with threats...up there folks rely on the govt
