Hurricane Sandy will be assaulting the East Coast, morphing into a mutation of a blizzard and a hurricane, the likes of which meteorologists claim has not been seen for more than 100 years.
Government forecasters have predicted a 90 percent chance for 4 days’ worth of gale-force winds, heavy rain, flooding and maybe snow beginning on Sunday.
Traveling from the Bahamas, the storm has taken the lives of 29 people in the Caribbean at current count. The storm is traveling up the Eastern seaboard where it is predicted to collide with a seasonal nor’easter. At that point, the fury of the blizzard and the hurricane will combine before striking the highly populated areas of Washington, DC and New York City.
The storm hit Florida early Friday morning and is traveling up the coast at approximately 10 miles per hour. Forecasters say that this slow journey increases the risk of flooding, as it will strike multiple high tide cycles. Schools in the southernmost part of Florida have been closed for the remainder of the week.

“Utility companies in New England are calling customers IN ADVANCE to warn them about potential power outages.”
That’s nice. And your point is?
The traitor sissy thinks he's immune to payback, but in the pit where his narcissistic heart should be, I think he's scared shiteless over this LIbyan CF, and will always be lookin' over his skinny girly shoulder.
Who do you think you re to call me a liar? How dare you? And a liar for Obama?
I said nothing about the media————Don’t put words in my mouth - I said I trusted my friends who work at NOAA - and have been there longer than Bozo - or probably you - even knew what NOAA was.
You really like putting words in other people’s posts, don’’t you Noob? I’ll see you here later this week wondering when you re going to be offering help for folks here on the coast who have been flooded out.
You’re going to look pretty damned foolish when you find out that FReepers aren’t as stupid as you are tryig to make them out to be — nor are they liars as you are calling them.
And you're going to look pretty foolish when it doesn't.........
And I would hope you will return to apologize to those FReepers who live on the coast who have already started dealing with.....
BTW, don’t call folks names, unless it’s Sandy. They have their own worries.
The point is they must really think we're stupid...a squirrel running up a telephone pole knocks out the power around here. The hysteria is really annoying...
Have you got your generator in place? Rain can be a bitch!
“a squirrel running up a telephone pole knocks out the power around here”
Lol. Well, they want to be able to say they warned people in case of future lawsuits.
Apparently, people have to be warned not to use their electric hair dryers while they’re taking a bath, too.
Hmmmm...you think it might suppress the parasite vote?
How in the bloody heck did that get up there????
You can see that the voltage seems to have blown off its hind legs.
Guess I’ll quit bitching about the squirrels... :-)
As a matter of fact, I do -— rain and tide soaked ground in addition to wind is not conducive for trees staying OFF power lines.
I live on the coast, I also know how to be prepared for the worst while praying for the best.
Power's my main concern, or rather the outage thereof .. forget TV, the sumps won't work and no FReepin' updates !
grrrr
Montana birds have one hell of an appetite. Unfortunately, they snag more than they can get home from time to time.
I think you will be OK. This storm has a number of factors working against it.
Thanks, Tomkat! You stay safe as well.
I don’t care about the TV either - it’s the updates Freepin’ and otherwise and when I commented on that yesterday a friend in Arizona said to “smartphone the updates.” She’s originally from this area and so understands what is going on.
I think I’ll continue to rely on the same folks I’ve been relying on the past 10 years or so, but thanks anyway.
Stay Safe. Understand the hype.
My gas stove has electric ignition, but if the power is off it lights just fine with a match or lighter.
