Perfect Storm possibly brewing...

I hate how people hype these things though, just tell me it's a potentially awful storm. These two quotes were just on CNN.

"This is a storm of biblical proportions" - Accuweather

"I've never seen anything like this in my entire meteorological life" - Some NOAA guy

As he should be. Latest trend hooks it towards NJ/NYC or so....could see the NHC adjust possible landfall a bit farther north than previous track. :-o

So living in Mid Hudson Valley 65 miles North of NYC and taking my bus trip in on Monday will not be fun.

You might consider taking a personal day.

What kind of disasters hit the Rockies? It might be time to cash out and move on. The ski season is longer too.

Wildfires, drought, twisters/torandos, landslides and of course.....Avalanches! =)

+ 1. And the NOAA guy was probably the 20 year old intern....

All the weather guys I follow are in agreement that nothing like this has happened any time in recent memory...

 

[BenedictGomez]

It's not a good sign that all the models seem to be in decent agreement.

Not looking good for NYC?

The weather forum is saying it's a worse case for NYC. The storm is trening north another 100 miles and there's discussion about the National Weahter Service and why they haven't moved the cone north, most agree that they will later today.

I live in CT and the storm surge estimates for wester LI Sound are huge , in the 14-15 FEET range!
This type of surge has never happened. Most storms that cause substantial damage weren't even 1/2 this high.
The western track of the storm will drive immense amounts of water into LI Sound and it will have nowhere to go. Monday to Wednesday also is the high moon tide, not good timing for this storm.
There will probably be large mandatory evacuations.

Interesting about northern draft

We have a condo 100 meters off the ocean and the further north Sandy hits, the less chance of damaging storm surge on our island. I checked the surf reports and Barnegat Beach Island and Long Beach Island still are showing 12 to 16 foot surf on Tuesday. So far, this is the biggest forecast for the Jersey coast. Worse case for us is landfall around the mouth of Delaware Bay to our south.

Wow, wonder if the bay will meet the ocean on LBI...

 

[rev bubba]

Hope not. Especially hope not on Barnegat Beach Island to the north. The storm does seem to be tracking further north making Long Island more of a target. I am not happy about this at all. Irene was quite enough!
