Hurricane Sandy [Current Official Track has Hurricane Hitting Delaware]

Joe Biden better vote early, and stop that $500 trillion tax cut.

It is important for folks in the Mid-Atlantic and New England to not focus on the forecast track, unless you are along the coast. This will be an extratropical system by the time it reaches land and strong winds will not just be around the center, but spread out hundreds of miles from the center. And we could have a two-day period of tropical-storm strength winds, very bad for knocking down trees and power lines. Also, further inland there could be very heavy, wet snow in Western PA and West Virginia and adjacent areas.

If you are along the coast, the worst surge will be to the north of the core of the storm. So if the storm goes through Delaware, for example, Delaware Bay and the Jersey Shore would get the worst surge, and probably have bad surge all the way up to NYC and Long Island.

Looks like Halloween will be a wash-out

[Josephat]

Looks like it’s headed right for DC. Is God about to clean house for us?

[Doogle]

yikes, I’m located right above the “N” of NJ...last years storm did real damage tree wise and this is suppose to be greater....big run on water in the stores today, no generators, all gone....

[copaliscrossing]

Slow Joe better start campaigning in his home state...NOW!

Just last night Fox was telling us that it was going to be hitting NYC and cause untold destruction!

Who will be hit hardest?

[VermiciousKnid]

Well, I’m on Long Island, so we’ll probably get something. My mother’s right on the Sound and there’s a very high tide expected with the Oct. 29 full moon — she’s worried (and she should be; the tides have breached the seawall before).

I’m not as close to the water, and on much higher ground so I’m not worried about flooding but last year’s storms took out 2 of my biggest trees. I’ve got a monster maple in the backyard I’m afraid can come down. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed and the kids in the basement just in case.

My daughter in Cape May says she will be here with her dog if the Jersey shore is evacuated.

This storm could be wide enough to hammer NYC from a landfall down in the Delmarva Peninsula.

Who will be hit hardest?

That's easy!

[rhinohunter]

That would be truly remarkable. In the history of recordkeeping, Delaware is the only state along the Eastern/Gulf seaboard from Texas to Maine that has never experienced a landfall.

[Gabz]

Tell her to stay safe.

[Tax-chick]

I did. You be careful too.

[Gabz]

Will do - just have last minute stuff to pick up.....

[wilco200]

YAWN!

Even money this takes a right hook and goes out to sea.

[freepertoo]

I hope God isn’t about to clean house. I live in Rockville during the week (bad enough...very close to D.C.), but my sister is living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, just 10 minutes from Delaware. Pray God he’s NOT cleaning house, please pray.

[fortheDeclaration]

They were saying it was going to be a direct hit.

[teeman8r]

Awwww man... don’t jinx it...

i just cancelled my scout troop’s camp trip upstate delaware... didn’t look good.

wind rain and whining...

so now it will turn east and not hit us.
