Damage from Katrina was in the 100 billion rangeQuote:

New Orleans is about 1500 miles away from where this one is hitting, they are used to storms like this down there every once in a while.Quote:

Very rare for this far up the East Coast, usually they might hit the Carolina's but hardly ever north of that. This one is going to hit WAY north of that, where there are a shitload of people and other things that can be destroyed. Much more so than down south.
That's your "expert" analysis? You could say all of the above about ANY storm that makes landfall, especially in a highly populated area.Quote:

I mean its not sensational news if they say "this storm could do 1% of the damage katrina did". Its typical misleading jounalism.Quote:

A billion dollar damage is very minimal (and those are high extimates).
Like I said, this is going to be a massive event.
China, you take care of yourself old friend.

Years ago I slept with a woman named "Sandy".
She was attractive but as she lay naked in her bed I noticed her pussy was unusually swollen, almost puffy.
The pretty girl noticed my questioning stare and assured me there was nothing to worry about. She related that she had just "got over" a yeast infection.
I beat a hasty retreat.
No he picked that storm because it happened HERE. Not DOWN THERE. It is all relative.Quote:

And Hurricane Isabel caused about $5 billion in damage, low lying areas completely underwater for weeks. That was the last "big one" around here. 4 million lost power for a long time, and it didn't even hit the mid-atlantic/northeast it hit in Southern VA.
This one could shut down the fucking epicenter of the US, from DC to Boston for who knows how long.
No one said it was going to be worse than Katrina, it won't be.
But it is looking like one of the worst to ever hit HERE.
Where exactly do you live? Obv not anywhere on the East Coast with your dismissive nature and "ahh it will be nothing, just a little rain" attitude.
FYI I live in probably the safest part of the world for all "acts of god'. I'm just not a fan of hype.Quote:

I am 20 miles north of the boston coast. How bad will it be here?
8-12 inches of rain depending on where you are, looks like Jersey Shore will get the worst of it.
Tough call.The easy road would be to flee. Myself? I would be doing some community ograniznig. Maybe not.Quote:

Personally I would get the fuck out of town and show up a few days later acting like I happened I was in Europe or something.

I WILL GET YOU A ROOM, 80 DEGREES.
PERFECT WEATHER IMO

Models are consolidating. When Sandy gets back out over OPEN water and loses the friction with land, she will likely strengthen. The collision with cold air will be like throwing water on a grease fire.
Right now the track is right over Delaware Bay, a worst case scenario. That puts the dirty side of the storm over Manhattan and North Jersey.
To have the entire North East without power, right before a Presidential election?
Updates will follow as events warrant.

Having been through 3 hurricanes myself here is lazy way of preparing.
Fill up your bath tubs with water. You can use it to flush the toilets by pouring in with a bucket. Can also use the tub water for drinking.
Get 3 to 5 gallons of drinking water.
Have some easy to eat cold foods like cans of ravioli.
Clean out your fridge of stuff you don't need -- pickle jars with 1 pickle.
Put all porch furniture and things tat can fly away in side.
If you have pets -- have a Carrier. You can leave it open and allow your dog to go in their if they are freaked out. If you have to take off will be very important to have a carrier.
Make sure you have a flashlight that works and have an extra set of batteries.
Have something ready to waste time. We always had it nice because we were on the police grid so even when the storm was at the worst we had cable and internet. You most likely will have neither so make sure your kindle or laptop is juiced up and you have some Arrested Development DVDs.
One last thing that may seem obvious. If the eye is going to pass over or near you the storm comes in 2 parts with the second part generally being the worst. It is very strange. When the eye comes the storm will stop, the sun comes out and the birds start chirping again. About 20 or 30 mins later the back part of the storm comes, the sky goes all Wizard of OZ and you get the really crazy part of the storm.
This storm would have come across NC like usual but we have a cold front coming down from Canada that is pushing it out to sea and up the East Coast.
Franklin: Diff between trop cyclone and ET: With tropical, need storms to bring fast winds down to surface. Very spotty high winds.
Franklin: In #Sandy's case, it's the large-scale pressure field driving winds. This will give us a large area with a uniform wind field.
Question: Can you quantify this in terms of history? Barometric pressure? Franklin: Intensification due to tropical processes ending. #Sandy
Uccellini: The way the two systems are merging are contributing to each other to enhance the process. #Sandy
Uccellini: #Sandy has the potential of "standing on its own with respect to minimum surface pressure%u2026 [size]… and rainfall."
Uccellini: With #Sandy, "we're dealing with categories we don't normally see."
Question: Why is #Sandy moving so slow? Uccellini: Blocking flow - upper level systems aren't moving W-to-E like normal.
Uccellini: "Extraordinary" blocking pattern is also going to contribute to the westward movement that will drive #Sandy toward the coast.
Question: What's causing this blocking? Uccellini: "I am sure this will be the cause of research…" #Sandy
Question (from Max Mayfield!): If #Sandy becomes ET, who issues advisories? NHC or HPC? When will the handoff?
Franklin: Goal is continuity of service. TC/ETC conversion is not an on/off time. Gives flexibility to when the handoff happens. #Sandy
Franklin: Plan for #Sandy is for HPC to continue to issue public advisories "earlier than they normally do", possibly before landfall.
Franklin: @NHC_Atlantic will continue to "lead the internal NWS coordination"with HPC, OPC, etc. #Sandy
Question: Was it HPC who came up with "Frankenstorm"? Seems to have taken off. Is that how it will be referred to? #Sandy
Uccellini: Phrase came out of an HPC discussion. Storms normally get names after the event. During event, it will be #Sandy.
Franklin: When HPC takes over, advisories will be under header "Post-tropical cyclone #Sandy"
Question: Normal models (WRF, NAM, etc.) forecasting big differences than @NHC_Atlantic track. Why? Franklin: NHC rarely uses NAM. #Sandy
Franklin: Two best performers long-term with track and ET transition are GFS and ECMWF. "Head and shoulders" above others. #Sandy
Franklin: Regional models (HWRF, GFDL) not being used because structure of #Sandy not well-represented.
Franklin: Leaning toward the ECMWF in part due to the fact that it picked up on the westward turn sooner than GFS. Expect EC > GFS. #Sandy
Uccellini: When we have phasing as we will have with #Sandy, *all* models are challenged by these kinds of system mergers.
Question: Can you be specific about precip - 4-8" of rain, up to 2' of snow. Entirety of storm or just a couple of days? #Sandy
Uccellini: Precip numbers for the entire event of #Sandy but locally heavier amounts are possible.
Uccellini: Full moon is Sunday, highest tides usually 1-2 days after. Could be multiple tidal cycles with #Sandy.
Question: Have you ever seen anything like this? #Sandy
Uccellini: In some ways, this is similar to the "perfect storm", other ways different. '91 had colder air, #Sandy is stronger TC.
End of Media call.
Great, i'm gonna get wet too.
Gonna be interesting to see where this hits, some models have it hitting north of other ones, if that is the case Philly/New York will be spared from the worst of it.
The further south it hits the worse it will be for the East Coast, top side of the storm is where all the storm surge is. Eye and south you will have opposite affect and not much to worry about but rain and wind.
Basically hope it goes more up the coast, then all the bad stuff will be for much less populated New England around Boston and north. If it hangs a left sooner and hits Maryland or a little south, Jersey and New York are gonna get slammed.
The new models are in. I think Chinamaniac is in the danger zone. The GFS and Euro just came in.
YAWWWWWWWWN
Are you still in New York?Quote:

Still alive and well.
They are also saying this could bring 30 foot waves into places like the LI Sound...
That could be a problem.
Don't see any roofs being blown off though.
ahh maybe itll flush some of the trash left from occupy wall street (including any a-holes still around smelling like rotting flesh from not showering) down the drain like one huge toilet :)Quote:
