----> Hurricane SANDY. Possible catastrophe for New York City and Boston! <-----

[RobbieBensonFan]

When does this bad boy hit land?

Monday night right around Atlantic City or just to the North.

Sandy is stating to close the inner core so the storm could actually become larger. Surge is going to be a huge issue as Sandy is coming on shore right near high tide with a full moon. A full moon adds about 9" of surge which does not sound like much, until you take into consideration Irene was a foot away from flooding the subway system in New York

Here is the swath of real estate Sandy is going to affect:

CoreLogic’s latest report:


The data shows nearly 284,000 total residential properties valued at almost $88 billion at risk for potential storm-surge damage among the coastal Mid-Atlantic states, assuming the storm hits the coast as a Category 1 hurricane. Within that region, more than 238,000 total properties valued at nearly $75 billion stand at risk in eight major metro areas from Virginia to New England.

The greatest financial exposure it to residences within the State of New York where value of potential properties which could be potentially damaged is just above $35 billion. Next comes New Jersey at $22 million

The greatest metro area risk in the the New York City-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA MSA with the CoreLogic estimate at over $48 billion.

Will be interesting to see how this affects the election as power outages Wednesday and Thursday morning will likely be in the 10s of Millions. Places as far as way as Pittsburgh will be impacted.

To put the storm size in perspective, snow is now falling from Sandy. In Kentucky.

Bloomberg just ordered the evacuation of some downtown Manhattan neighborhood, probably Battery Park. Thats actually pretty amazing.

Definitely interesting to follow as prediction sbecoming much more dire. The elction implications are particularly interesting. Disasters like this traditionally hurt incumbents but this could hurt rural strong pockets for romney at the same time

[sonatine]

God I totally forgot how badly Irene fucked people up in Manhattan, I must admit. Like I see the words "flood damage" but have remind myself that the toxic brew that constitutes lower Manhattan flood water would use the rotten-corpse-and-snake-soup that Katrina created for mouth wash.

[Muck Ficon]

No matter what happens I'm blaming Bush for this.

[RobbieBensonFan]

There are three massive differences between Sandy and Irene.

1) Irene basically collapsed and weakened right before landfall. Sandy by all accounts getting stronger. She will pass over the Gulfstream where waters are much warmer than they are now. Keep in mind Irene did $15B in damage

2) The trajectory. Irene came in from the due South. This will be coming from east to west. There is no historical basis to evaluate Sandy on, because there really has never been a storm this size come from the East this far north. Nobody knows what impact is going to be say in the LI Sound with the surge

3) Trees. Right now the leaves on the trees are basically dead. The weight of the rain fall will cause branhes to collapse causing massive power outages of hundreds of miles. With temps in a lot of the Northeast dropping into the 30s each night now, that is going to be a big problem

Here is the best satellite on Sandy. You can see how huge and how it appears to be getting more organized. The trip over the Gulf Stream will be interesting.

10-11 foot storm surge??

Oh yeah New York is fucked.

[tony bagadonuts]

I've gotta hand it to bottomset, he broke this story as far as I'm concerned (at least to me) and his prognostication is unfortunately starting to look portentous.

Still time for the storm to peter out and I hope it does obv.

Have you been taking writing lessons from 4PoeSteaks?

[superallah]

can't wait for the southpark episode on this one.

[4Dragons]

To me it looks like someone drew a spline curve in adobe illustrator. Just in time to suspend elections. Alex Jones' head will asplode.

[abrown83]

I am going to laugh if this thing takes an outlier model and just heads out into the Atlantic.

[408Mike]

God I totally forgot how badly Irene fucked people up in Manhattan, I must admit. Like I see the words "flood damage" but have remind myself that the toxic brew that constitutes lower Manhattan flood water would use the rotten-corpse-and-snake-soup that Katrina created for mouth wash.

Honestly you seem so calm, it's just weird to me. Like where's the panic in your voice? You never break composure, do you live in a fortified storm proof apartment above it all or are you secretly really living in Arizona?

I'm betting you really live here and are just showboating with bottomset trying to front like you're brave when really you are posting from your jacuzzi.


I'd take the spot in Sicily myself.

There are no such models.

Only thing in doubt is where it hits on Jersey Shore.

Scroll down to Model Track Forecast.

It most likely will pound the East Coast (specifically DC to Boston), but to say that it is 100% for sure is inaccurate.
