Smitty Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 WASHINGTON (AP) — Government forecasters say a big storm that they're calling "Frankenstorm" is likely to blast most of the U.S. East Coast next week.The storm is an unusual mix of a hurricane and a winter storm. The worst of it could be focused around New York City and New Jersey.Forecasters on Thursday said there's a 90 percent chance that the East will get steady gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe snow starting Sunday and stretching past Wednesday.The hurricane part of the storm is likely to come ashore somewhere in New Jersey on Tuesday morning.NOAA forecaster Jim Cisco said the storm is so massive that the effects will be felt along the entire coast from Florida to Maine and inland to Ohio. http://news.yahoo.com/hybrid-sandy-winter-storm-threatens-east-coast-064040714.html Frankenstorm though? Anyway...stay safe my fellow East Coasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Not really freaking out. Always better safe than sorry. And the actual hurricane part of the storm won't touch down until Tuesday..so it won't be weakening until then. And of course it could just end up being Irene 2.0, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sħãlïq™ Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hurricane Sandy slogs toward U.S., kills 31 in CaribbeanBy Neil Hartnell | Reuters – 1 hr 5 mins ago NASSAU (Reuters) - Slow-moving Hurricane Sandy, a late season Atlantic storm unlike anything seen in more than two decades, slogged toward the U.S. East Coast on Friday after killing at least 31 people on a trail of destruction across the Caribbean.Forecasters said the storm, with an expanding wind field already 550 miles wide, had begun merging with a polar air mass over the eastern United States, potentially spawning a "hybrid" super storm that could wreak havoc along the U.S. East Coast."Its structure is evolving as we speak because it's interacting with this weather feature at higher levels of the atmosphere," said Todd Kimberlain, a forecaster at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami."The models are suggesting that the storm could actually become better organized or intensify a little bit, not due to the normal processes than we would expect for a tropical cyclone but more related this weather feature," Kimberlain said.Most of Florida was under a tropical storm warning, and watches extended up the U.S. coast through North Carolina. Winds and rains generated by Sandy were being felt in south Florida.http://news.yahoo.com/hurricane-sandy-menaces-u-slamming-cuba-035520293.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Holy shit, you guys are getting wrecked by a category 1 hurricane. I would hate to see how much worse it would have been if it strengthened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to see how much worse it would have been if it strengthened.Yup, we aren't built for huge rains like this the way Florida is, since they have hurricanes all the time. The topography up here is horrible for heavy rains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
