How did a storm, barely hurricane status, even acquire the Frankenstorm moniker?

Because it could get very ugly. The NHC has been taking a great deal of heat because of the incompetence in their computer models. Here is something that displays the three "monster" weather systems:

Eastern U. S. - Water Vapor Loop

Yeah, I know of the 3 systems, however, “Sandy” isn’t the “Franken” in herself.

I was, per my subsequent post, trying to be playful with the “Al Franken” meme.

If the AGW proponents can be taken seriously about anything, it is their own focus on “Sandy” to further a hysteria using this barely a hurricane.

I’m simply fishing for the most talented at creating pictures to offer up a satellite view of Sandy with a diapered Al Franken superimposed upon this barely a hurricane to make it really scary.

Here is another confluence of similar circumstances when CO2
was much lower.
