Models show Hurricane Lee could slam into the East Coast next week, bringing deadly storm surge and heavy rains to Boston and New York City, as it conjures memories of Superstorm Sandy's catastrophic impact on the region.
On Thursday, Hurricane Lee was churning in the open waters to the northeast of the Caribbean as a Category 4 storm and heading toward the Leeward Islands. The storm has picked up steam in the last day and now has winds in excess of 130mph.
'Lee continues to strengthen at an exceptional rate,' the National Hurricane Center stated.
The European model of the storm's path, analyzed by CBS New York, shows the storm directly hitting Boston, but also could impact New York City and parts of Long Island given its massive size.
'This will definitely be a big player for our area,' CBS New York meteorologist Lonnie Quinn said.
Sandy slammed into the Northeast area in 2012, leaving parts of New York City underwater and more than 40 people dead in the metro area.

“I like ‘em big and stupid”
Yes
It is Bermuda that has a bullseye on it—but nobody cares about Bermuda apparently.
In fact most predictions are that it will lose a lot of strength in northern waters.
This article is 99% hysteria, 1% facts.
“He’s the butt of lots of storm weather jokes”
He was a “Do you know who I am?” kind of guy even then. Regardless, he has achieved fame and fortune by pimping extreme weather.
“In fact most predictions are that it will lose a lot of strength in northern waters. This article is 99% hysteria, 1% facts.”
Yep, both are working against a super-storm, especially if it goes north of South Carolina. But lots of rain still possible!
Boston used to have a newswoman who was best known for standing on the Mystic River bridge during extreme weather. Was it Shelby Scott?? I can’t remember for sure, but I always looked forward to watching her be miserable during a blizzard.
A tropical storm is a possibility and those can cause flooding and power outages—but nothing compared to the hype of this article.
He did almost get taken out on live TV by a sign flying thru the air during one storm so I'll give a point for that one.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda!
That’s what passes for news these days.
While I appreciate your abundance of caution, the doom and gloomers WILL NEVER SHUT UP even if the storm peters out or misses all together.
So in that case, FLUSH THOSE HOMES INTO THE OCEAN!!!! If I have to listen to them damn it, at least they will FINALLY have some skin in the game!! I hope a particular 67 corvette gets flushed too.
Plus, after the FLUSH, I bet the land will be cheaper and already cleared for “new” building.
The European model doesn’t show a NY hit so right now I’m not worried.
Annnnd how many migrants are sleeping on the street???
== == ==
They have been given tents, now give them some inflatable dingeys.
That is funny.
The wife and I are getting on a cruise boat leaving Galveston tomorrow morning. Heading to the Bahamas. I will let you all how it goes.
Inflatable dingeys....LOL....LOL....LOL....
