Hope everyone in the path is busy getting prepped today! Looks like a doozy of a storm.
I'm not gonna redo the graphic from post 68... it's too big, and I don't wanna be "chasing" the models all weekend. Suffice it for now to say that almost all coastal areas will be impacted, and areas within 50-60 miles north of any landfall point will suffer some nasty inland flooding. That pic still illustrates the reasons way... regardless of who exactly ends up getting hit.
And really... if Sandy approaches via a more northerly trek, there would be a real danger of beach damage over a vast swath as it parallels the coast.
