Take a deep breath...

1934. 1938. 1944. 1960.

Those smacked NY pretty hard, too.

True but it was more than just a bad storm hitting NY that made it unprecedented.

It was the conditions which allowed the storm to develop and track the way it did that were unprecedented.

And it was a BIG storm, winds and water aside. It covered a HUGE land area.

1938 was pretty darn widespread and harsh, if I recall. I watched this the other day. It was produced before Sandy. It's about hurricanes and New York and how vulnerable you guys are.

Please don't take what I say wrong... I was praying specifically for you and yours when things went bad, and I saw here on FR that there was a concern.

I do, however want you to have real facts and history to put the situation into context with, and all I'm trying to do is provide those.

Yes, I'm an un-emotional, pedantic, son-of-a-b****, except I'm really not. The Atlantic has hated New York since before the Dutch owned it and it was New Amsterdam.

Watch the YouTube presentation about hurricanes in NY. It offers good historical perspective. Written BEFORE Sandy hit. This was predicted.
