Piers Corbyn's Weather prediction
(Excerpt) Read more at twitpic.com ...
AT 1100 AM EDT...1500 UTC...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE SANDY WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 37.5 NORTH...LONGITUDE 71.5 WEST. SANDY IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 18 MPH...30 KM/H. A TURN TOWARD THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED SOON...FOLLOWED BY A TURN TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST TONIGHT. ON THE FORECAST TRACK... THE CENTER OF SANDY IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY COAST THIS EVENING OR TONIGHT.
The system IS moving NW...and is south of Montauk. To miss the US...it would have to STOP in its tracks...and move NNE.
NOT happening. But...when it makes landfall in DE or NJ....I suppose then you will realize how blown this forecast was...and then you will hide...
Slaboumni.
REPORT FROM NORTH NJ
1- Local Municipalities are justifying the ZILLION DOLLARS they got in Homeland Security money..Jeeps , trucks , tanks radar , new computers , what ever the hell they pissed my tax money away on.They are showing it all off to the Marxist f-ck Menendez .No doubt they will be looking for ZILLIONS more now that they showed they can actually use half of it .
2- Every local politician is showing off how CONCERNED they are . Looking for future votes.I got a robo call telling me about local food shelters and some bullshit about National Guard intervention..It’s drizzling here and it’s windy ..BIG FRIGGIN DEAL.
3- The news media in an attempt to keep the Libya scandle off the from page ( Obama should be arrested by the way ) has round the clock panic coverage , basically saying it’s the end of civilization as we know it .They said we’d be smashed and hammered last night by 7:00pm Didn’t even rain last night , slept with my window open. Still waiting to get smashed at noon here.
Im back at my studio recording a bass track ..not concerned
I can't count the number of times a novice thought I said something that I didn't say. Leading up to A Day in OIF and the forest big sand storm...I had the wing commander swear I had been steadily increasing the strength of the winds. Of course....I had had SW winds at 35G50 on the slides for 5 days.
Sometimes perception is not reality.
According to the storm track, Sandy has yet to make her left turn.
There was a time here at FR when there were a lot of bright, intelligent, highly educated and very knowledgeable people posting here – working scientists, engineers, etc. and where have they gone?
NELSON111 is not stupid and has a lot to bring to these treads due to his knowledge, experience and expertise on this topic. But sadly FR has become more of a place where arm chair “experts”, amateur” and the “hey, watch me while holds ma beer” types have taken over, shouting down people with actual expertice.
There was a time when we could have intelligent and rational discussions with each other even if we disagreed. Those days seem a distant memory.
Of course, some people will profit from any disaster but on the whole this will be a negative for the economy. You can’t shut down one of the biggest parts of the economy without it costing big time.
Two days closure is time which cannot be gotten back.
Perhaps you need to refresh your cache. Would you like the link to the current NHC track and advisory that shows the turn has taken place and will CONTINUE to do so?
Because either 1) the data you are looking at is Old...or 2) you don't know how to read it....or 3) you are trolling.
I'll give you the benefit of the former...since I can't believe anyone could not see that turn.
AGAIN - NHC - Location: 37.5°N 71.5°W
Moving: NNW at 18 mph
Min pressure: 943 mb
Max sustained: 90 mph
Maybe a image will help you:
Or a current and past track...grey line is past track
So...this debate is closed. It's made the turn and did so overnight as forecasted. Any continued "discussion" on this topic is just plain dumb...
I've been here since '98....and as I have said NUMEROUS times on this board: I bemoan the fact one cannot have a rational debate on FR. People will either flood your thread with sarcasm...or talk about stuff they think they know...but don't.
It's not the FR it used to be
Class of '98.
LOL
First you say something stupid about a storm with a 28’ storm surge calling it a weak storm. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be in the path of that wave with the accompanying weak Category 3 winds. My Mama taught me that. Then you call me a liberal. Then you bring up my dead mother and call me classy. Now you call me a man! Wow. As I said, stick to your expertise and try not to sound stupid. My husband and our 10 children who I birthed will be enlightened today when I inform them I am really a Mister.
I am sorry if I upset you by pointing out an error in your banter. I have a genetic flaw that comes from my mother. I cannot stop myself from speaking sometimes.
Ah! I think I know what the problem is. You need to simply refresh your browser. Try F5 in most keyboards. You should be able to see the updated storm track then. (/just tryin ta help)

Generally, the hysterics of the Enemamedia are over the top and unwarranted.
Is this still a Category I storm? Category I?
That explains why you didn't follow the logic of the thread...or come to a logical conclusion that I was being sarcastic to the poster considering all I had said about Katrina.
Also explains why you were so overly sensitive.
Explains EVERYTHING.
That was a couple of purges ago... And yes, FR was a lot better then. The depth and breadth of expertise made FR the only place to be when anything important was happening. Those days aren't coming back I'm afraid.
Newby. ;-)
ROFLOL
Bless your heart! And have a productive and safe day!
LOL....got here during Monica TOO I see....:-)
Yup. I sure hope they are wrong about how many high tides this surge will impact the coast. 3-4 was what they were saying for that end of the Sound, as the water will surge, but there is no place for it to recede out of the Sound.
Crap just lost power for a few seconds already.
“working scientists, engineers, etc. and where have they gone? “

What an elitist post.
