This is one of the most irresponsible things I have ever read on the net. This storm will NOT miss the US. It is right on track. The surge values will be as projected +/-1' unless it speads up or slows down and comes in on a different tide (and tides are huge players). For instance...the surge will be around 6' in Battery. If it comes in on a HIGH tide, as projected now...it means 11' of water. If it comes in on a low tide...it means 8-9'. A 6 hour error in the timing means a LOT.

But back to the article. Piers is a good forecaster....long range...but this is stupid. Sandy has already begun the turn back to the N...and even if the models were ALL wrong...and it just went straight N from where it is now...it would hit New England.

But what do I know....I've just been forecasting for a living for 25 years...in the tropics...with hurricanes...

I wonder if I am living in an alternate universe today. Thanks for all the posts. You have far greater patience than I could ever muster.

It probably won’t even be a hurricane when it hits (if it is now)... wherever it goes.

I think people are just oversaturated with this doomsday stuff. The overhyping of storms while ignoring other MAJOR stories tends to make people upset.

This thread should be pulled. It’s ridiculous.

Every once in a while, it can be embarrassing to be on this site.

As if Rove would ever let the Democrats borrow our hurricane machine!
