PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
241 PM EDT SUN OCT 28 2012
...AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM TO IMPACT THE AREA...
SANDY IS EXPECTED TO SLAM INTO THE NEW JERSEY COAST LATER MONDAY
NIGHT, BRINGING VERY HEAVY RAIN AND DAMAGING WINDS TO THE REGION.
THE STORM IS A LARGE ONE, THEREFORE DO NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT CENTER
OF THE STORM AS ALL AREAS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS.
THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE AN HISTORIC STORM, WITH WIDESPREAD WIND
DAMAGE AND POWER OUTAGES, INLAND AND COASTAL FLOODING, AND MASSIVE
BEACH EROSION. THE COMBINATION OF THE HEAVY RAIN AND PROLONGED WIND
WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR LONG LASTING POWER OUTAGES AND SERIOUS
FLOODING.
PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP AS CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
WORSEN TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY ON MONDAY.
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES...
1. IF YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO EVACUATE A COASTAL LOCATION BY STATE
AND LOCAL OFFICIALS, PLEASE DO SO.
2. IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT TO EVACUATE, AND YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO RODE
OUT THE `62 STORM ON THE BARRIER ISLANDS, ASK THEM IF THEY COULD DO
IT AGAIN.
3. IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT, THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES, THINK ABOUT
THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH YOU WHEN YOU
MAKE THE PANICKED PHONE CALL TO BE RESCUED, THINK ABOUT THE
RESCUE/RECOVERY TEAMS WHO WILL RESCUE YOU IF YOU ARE INJURED OR
RECOVER YOUR REMAINS IF YOU DO NOT SURVIVE.
4. SANDY IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM. THERE WILL BE MAJOR
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURIES ARE PROBABLY UNAVOIDABLE, BUT THE GOAL IS
ZERO FATALITIES.
5. IF YOU THINK THE STORM IS OVER-HYPED AND EXAGGERATED, PLEASE ERR
ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION.
WE WISH EVERYONE IN HARMS WAY ALL THE BEST. STAY SAFE!

Here's a cool little map of the power outages in the greater Boston area. NStar only.
http://outagemap.nstar.com/outage/OutageMap.aspx
A few power lines have already bit the dust about an 1/8 of a mile from me, and we're still a good bunch of hours before anything is supposed to hit. Right now, it's merely kinda shitty out, misty/rainy and a light wind, about 50-ish degrees. Helluva time for a full moon, tho.
Worst we'll get here (I hope) is a power outage and maybe some basement flooding, nothing tough to deal with. Any of you fuckers near water, good luck, Godspeed, may the force be with you, all that shit.
If you need more weather sites, here's 2 I like whenever weather stuff happens
http://weatherspark.com

Sandy is getting more organized, pressure is 950 which is going to probably set a record at landfall in the Northeast as the lowest ever. It might even drop to the low 940s creating a massive wind field over hundreds of miles.
If you notice there are no Hurricane Warnings for the North East. This is because by the time Sandy reaches the coastline, it will be deemed subtropical then. Basically the National Weather Service issues the official warnings from that point although I am sure the NHC will still write up their reports.
Basically you will have Hurricane force gusts for the entire region. The difference between a Hurricane is basically the highest winds are concentrated at the center eye wall. Whereas, in extratropical systems, the wind field is dispersed. This is why the there will be periods tomorrow night the winds near the center at Atlantic City will be less than say Long Island or maybe even Rhode Island. You would never get that in a true Hurricane. Most systems go from Tropical to Extra Tropical at this latitude because too much cold air is present. Generally they just spin harmless out to sea north of Bermuda. This is why this is so rare because it's never happened before in recent memory a collision with the Northeast.
This is going to be expensive. Also, when you hear initial storm estimates of say $4B, that will be a fraction of the final cost. That is basically wind damage for private insurers. Storm surge and flooding is insured by the Feds and that number comes out well later and it could be well into the billions.

Hurricane Sandy strengthened to 85 mph last night and pressure went down to 946. It may become a little stronger to 90 mph and pressure to 941. The pressure will shatter the record of most if not all of the Northeast. I think the record for Jersey was like 955.
To put the pressure in prespective, a Hurricane in the Gulf at 941 would be a strong Cat 3 with winds like around 125 mph. But because its basically extratropical the energy is dispersed.
When Sandy officially leaves the Gulf Stream into much cooler waters, the eye (what's left of it) will collapse and become extra tropical. This means the strong winds are dispersed over a wide range as opposed consolidated over the center of the storm. Basically you have a Noreaster.
This is an incredible rare event having a Hurricane transitioning to a Noreaster and hitting the NorthEast from the Atlantic. Basically a once every 100 year event. Strong winds will be felt as far as Syracuse and some of the Great Lakes. The election is going to be intersting with the power outages.
Supposed to get hit the hardest in 3 hrs, just wind and rain so far, nothing major to report from here
Shit just got real.

Atlantic City's public safety director says most of city under water. The city is basically flooded and looks like worse damage than 1962.Travis Hughes @TravisSBN
Atlantic City and Ocean City completely underwater, the flooding is historic and the storm is still 200 miles offshore. #gulpMike Masco @MikeMasco
Airforce Hurricane Hunters find a 939mb pressure reading.. This very well maybe a CAT 2 storm http://fb.me/2dQi0KHHE
My cousin lives not far from where Jersey Shore was filmed and says the ocean has already surged enough to swallow up the beach and is up against the retaining wall that supports the boardwalk and waves sometimes crash up onto the boardwalk. that's nuts. Am trying to get pictures.

Two missing, 14 rescued as Bounty sinks in stormy seas.
UPDATED 11:30 a.m. Two people are missing and 14 were airlifted to safety after hurricane Sandy forced the crew of HMS Bounty to abandon ship off the eastern coast of the United States this morning.
And U.S. Coast Guard officials have confirmed that the historic replica ship went down in the stormy seas.
"We're still searching for two more persons, as the manifest outlined 16," Petty Officer 1st Cullen Rafferty said from the coast guard command centre in Portsmouth, Va.
"Once we get to the air station, we're going to be able to get some more details from the survivors so we'll know exactly who we're looking for an in what manner they became missing."
At 11:15 a.m., Petty Officer 1st Class Brandyn Hill confirmed that the 14 had arrived but he did not have any information about their condition or details about who was rescued and who was still missing.
At about 5:30 or 6 a.m. today, "the crew told the coast guard that they were going to have to abandon the ship," Petty Officer 3rd Class David Weydert of the U.S. Coast Guard said at 7:40 a.m. today.
"They all donned cold water survival suits, life-jackets and boarded two 25-man lifeboats before launching away from the Bounty."
HMS Bounty, a historic replica vessel built in Lunenburg, was thought to be carrying 17 people, but Rafferty later said the manifest showed 16 aboard. The vessel was about 145 kilometres southeast of Hatteras, N.C. and about 257 kilometres west
