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

[RobbieBensonFan]

Is this the real deal or media hysteria?

Earlier they said 60 mil without power and we are at 2.8 mil.

What the real deal

No one ever said 60 million LOL.

At the peak it was like 4.

Correct: 60 Million affected. Might be 4 Million without power (higher). Could be 14 Million. Nobody knows. Newark stills get 70 MPH at Newark Airport, like 5 minutes ago.

The next two days will be a mess.

The big deal will be the stall near Philadelphia.

In any event, out of my Extra Tropical mode. Good luck, hope all you make it.

If you did not listen to me in a flood prone area, not much I can say.

[GAMBLE-BOT]

There will be another high tide that will be significant.

The Tropical Forecasting portion of this thread has concluded.

This is a Noreaster now. I am unqualified to give analysis this point forward. Don't do Noreasters. Only Hurricanes.

Inland Disaster posts can continue, but Sandy has now been consumed. Most of the damage will now occur with wind and power outages and residual floods, unique from tropical dynamics.

FINAL REPORT.

Best just to HOF this thread and start a new Sandy damage thread at this point, for hisorical purposes.

I delivered this analysis spot on (look at original post date). Including the impact on power outages on the Election.

Do not doubt me again. EVER.

Even politics. "The trend is your friend." Where the trend has Romney's numbers going down off their highs. daily. #mittenspeakedtoosoon


But seriously, this thread is bone chillingly gay to people from the gulf coast. My hometown has been hit by 4 hurricanes in recent memory, and two of those were very, very real. Lost my house, people I know blah blah, blah.


Thoughts:

You faggots haven't even lost power.

Your top sustained winds aren't half of what the third coast has gotten recently. I've played tackle football in legitimately worse weather. By both wind speed and rain.


The Eastern seaboard is as embarrasingly self centric as bottom set is.


The only reason this is news nationally is because precious little baby NYC is flooded....but NYC floods often. Its worse than normal obv, but come on man. We had entire communities literally wiped off the map by water in Rita and Ike and there wasn't this much attention on the boards. Wake me up when a single house is swept away or destroyed by something other than incompetent construction.


Only way this gets legit if a nuclear plant explodes, allah willing.*


Bottomset is frustrating, but entertaining. 408 Mike is just a stressful mess. He would be well served by a ban and real mental health treatment.

I think i'm coming to stay with Sonatine, and possibly propose marriage if things go right. This thread only confirms my love.

I never doubted you for a second. Once I saw the thread I was glued to it because I KNOW that you have more knowledge than anyone I know on hurricanes. Thank you for your efforts so far

This is incorrect.

As long as this storm means I don't have to hear anymore about Romney or Obama on the news, I say let the entire East Coast end up at the bottom of the Atlantic.

You are making my point for me you floppy haired douche. The fact that it doesn't come here every year is why this is such big news. In 200 years, NY has never seen what I have seen today.

Its like no one cares when a black person gets shot cause it happens every day. Plus, natural disasters help keep the Mexican population down.

[DRK Star]

slightly off topic, but has anyone gone out of their way to inform Micon that there is a Hurricane hitting the Northeast?

[lewfather]

no but im sure he'll crank out an emergency radio in a few weeks about it, any day now he'll start posting pics of it approaching

This is 8 blocks from my house, near the bay. If you can understand Russian its great.

I checked it 8 hrs ago, he had a post, Sonatine shipped a post behind him.

Definately a reason to vote early.

Statement from MTA Chairman Joseph J. Lhota on Service Recovery

The New York City subway system is 108 years old, but it has never faced a disaster as devastating as what we experienced last night. Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on our entire transportation system, in every borough and county of the region. It has brought down trees, ripped out power and inundated tunnels, rail yards and bus depots. As of last night, seven subway tunnels under the East River flooded. Metro-North Railroad lost power from 59th Street to Croton-Harmon on the Hudson Line and to New Haven on the New Haven Line. The Long Island Rail Road evacuated its West Side Yards and suffered flooding in one East River tunnel. The Hugh L. Carey Tunnel is flooded from end to end and the Queens Midtown Tunnel also took on water and was closed. Six bus garages were disabled by high water. We are assessing the extent of the damage and beginning the process of recovery. Our employees have shown remarkable dedication over the past few days, and I thank them on behalf of every New Yorker. In 108 years, our employees have never faced a challenge like the one that confronts us now. All of us at the MTA are committed to restoring the system as quickly as we can to help bring New York back to normal.

Im just saying, as someone who has lived on the east coast on and off since birth, Ive gotten used to hearing all this before and being ruthlessly disappointed during execution.

Its just not the right season for this to have any substantive impact.

I suppose anything is possible and I guess Ill stock up on food because frankly I have to anyway since Ive been fishing up north for months basically.

Im not sure what youre trying to say here. Are you one of those people who thinks it never floods in NYC or something? We get weather, all the time. This isnt shit to me. If it was cold enough to freeze that water, Id say we have a real problem. As it stands, the second the water level drops, all that shit drains. Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in NYC has seen similar shit happen before.

Want to see me freak out? Watch what happens when we get storm surges like this in single digit temperatures. Watch what happens when those saturated building foundations freeze and shatter. Then you can play Chicken Little with the rest of the media all you want, except of course they wont be covering it with such verve because it wont be an election cycle.

But this shit right now is nothing but soggy car seats in a day or two for most of the areas in those flood pics.

I *do* want to say that in the last 8 hours, bottomsets prediction for another nightmare surge on LI appears to have come to pass; I see we are just under 1 _million_ people on Long Island without power.
