What? I'm chopped liver? I had enough compassion to stay up that night and watch and pray.
Watch that Youtube. It's enlighting. They talk about how a cat 2 can cause 18 ft sea level rise along the Battery, without the high tide.

I was referring to the *they deserved it* crowd whom I referred to in the previous paragraph in that post. Not you. I know that was not the prevalent attitude amongst FReepers. Most of them, like you, were praying for us.
And for me and our area in NY, CNY south of Syracuse, the storm was a real wash. Hardly any wind, almost no rain for most of it, and we even had some sunlight and moonlit nights, so the prayers WERE answered for a good chunk of the state.
I will watch the video. And I have seen other computer simulations of what would happen under the right conditions. Being a bit of a weatherhead (METmom), I have a nice selection of weather videos.
