The concern with SANDY is not the wind and rain, its the tidal surge. At 1130 this morning, we had a high tide 3-4 feet above normal without tomorrow night’s full moon and with the storm 575 miles south of here. Living on the water, I know about the wolf cryers. This one doesn’t look like an average storm.

I know that water has to be constantly pumped out of the underground subway system there. Don’t need more. I hate it though when the libs use something like this to push some far left political crap.

Agreed. I just talked to my brother who went surfing at the North Jetties near Jacksonville, Florida. He always surfs there when passing hurricanes bring in larger waves.

He was dumbfounded by how high the tide was.He said the ocean had risen so high that it was cutting deeply into mature sand dunes. This was much higher than he had ever seen the tide there with a passing offshore hurricane.

This is not your average storm.
