At least we can be comforted in knowing that N0bama is monitoring the situation.
Monitoring? Seriously? He's not monitoring.
He's bowing to the storm.

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!
I knew a contractor in the Long Beach Island area that either told me or showed me many examples of substandard construction. It doesn’t do any good to put the house on piles to avoid the storm surge when the piling diameter isn’t sufficient.
Obama might try, I suppose. But Sandy isn’t that bad and when polls start showing that Romney rules inland, it will get old in a hurry.
IF YOU DO NOT SURVIVE, BE CERTAIN TO DESIGNATE SOMEONE TO PAY YOUR TAXES.
And make sure they vote Democratic.
Yeah, I left for Katrina and came home to nothing.....I’d leave too
Can’t imagine this being worse than the derecho we had this past summer, but we will see. I’m prepared this time and glad it’s not 100 degrees out like it was when we lost power for days.
If the winds are under 75mph, its not a hurricane
It needs to be labeled a Massive Blizzard
LOL!
Cousins reported desertion at the Shore (Jersey). They were there to batten and get out.
Can I ask: were the dogs acting weird?
Hurricaine voter.
Cat is for wind speed. This storm is not about wind speed. Look at the other elements.
All kinds of people died a little below us. We were **just** high enough not to flood. Still had all kinds of tree damage and no power, of course, for months.
I haven’t heard yet what is drawing the storm into the big left turn. That map says it was still moving NE at 11pm. If it crosses east over the 70W longitude line tonight. . .could there be a new track then.
At least we can be comforted in knowing that N0bama is monitoring the situation.
Monitoring? Seriously? He's not monitoring.
He's bowing to the storm.
Pfffft, I eat category one hurricanes for breakfast. Surfing in Category 5 winds is my idea of a mellow time. When I do pushups, I’m actually pushing the Earth down.
Ok, there’s our winner!
Can I ask: were the dogs acting weird?
Nothing out of the ordinary. Not yet anyway.
