Hurricane Sandy, an artic blast from the North and a winter storm from the west are threatening to meet up over the East Coast to form the perfect storm. Batten down the hatches and antennas folks, I think we are in for a big one!

Figures... more shitty weather.

Yep. Pretty much. We're set up as best we can here. The last time they got hit in this area I was told that it flooded up quite a bit and new waterfalls were created as the runoff came down the mountains. I think this will be a coastal storm this time. I wouldn't want to be in NYC when it hits. You don't need a hurricane or Tropical Storm to cause storm surges that will shut down the subways. 90% of the people there don't have cars. 4 of the 5 boroughs are islands and the Bronx has a lot of cliffs. Between that and the bridges and tunnels, the city will be shut down. With this kind of storm, probably much worse.Originally Posted by KK4AMI
I know we didn't do as bad as expected two years ago, but I still had to evacuate.
Hopefully they dodge the bullet, but it doesn't look good.

This is severe. And hopeless. The severe winds of Brooklyn and Manhattan are bad enough. Brooklyn will get the worst of it. I have been knocked over by 100 mph Broooklyn crosswinds on calm days. A hurricane + an arctic front barreling down on Brooklyn will create severe winds, tornadoes. and heavy damage. Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx will probably be shut down for months following this Frankenstorm.
I remember when we had the severe nor'easter of 1992. I was working in a skyscraper in Manhattan and we were evacuated. The building was swaying wildly in the wind. Objects were flying off tables and I could feel the building shifting several feet from side to side like a pendulum. Off in the distance I could see dark ominous black funnel clouds over the east river and flashes of lightning.. The subways were tunnels full of water and were wiped out. I could have used my SCUBA gear that day. Even my home was battered that day. Debris was flying down the street propelled by 100+ mph winds. Venturing outside was a death sentence. We were bogged down for at least a week. Power in many areas was wiped out. It took months to route new poles and lines and restore power to the majority of the northeast. And this was just a nor'easter. Imagine what this storm is going to do !!!!!!!!! It may take years to dig out of this if we can at all.
And this is directly related to climate change.

This is the Website I always use to determine if I should haul our boat out. They have been pretty reliable. Seems we may luck out.

Dont quote me on this, but i am willing to bet $1000 that somewhere, an old timey preacher is telling his flock that NY/NJ is getting this because god is punishing them for allowing a bunch of stuff that the preacher doesnt like....that, and just because its New York and good, god fearing christians arent supposed to like New York. Just a thought...could be wrong....

You know it !!! Well, much like Los Angeles, and San francisco, New York is a bastion of liberal sinners. So, any harm that comes to us is deserved. It is the wrath of the LAWD!!Dont quote me on this, but i am willing to bet $1000 that somewhere, an old timey preacher is telling his flock that NY/NJ is getting this because god is punishing them for allowing a bunch of stuff that the preacher doesnt like....that, and just because its New York and good, god fearing christians arent supposed to like New York.

Could be less complicated then that. God is just voting absentee. He is a Republican if Sandy hits NYC and a Libertarian if Sandy comes into Virginia and hits DC. I don't know where he would hit to show he was a Democrat. That would probably have to be a national disaster.

If the system shifts its track a little more to the west and the center of circulation passes centrally through PA, Ron and Co. are projected to receive as much as 3 feet of snow.
This ain't gonna be pretty.
