Wow, this storm is so BAD that it currently is wrapping around the earth 3 TIMES!!!!!
I don’t take that kind of storm lightly!
BTW, on youtube there are eight videos (parts one through eight) of a History channel broadcast about the Nor’easter that wiped out many parts of the northeastern coast of the US.
It is a good dose of reality to those in the path of this storm. Our weather services have been such a boy who cried wolf that when the wolf is really here, not enough people are taking them seriously. Though this storm has a different personality than the 1928 storm, it could be just as devastating, but in different ways. e.g. rain, rather than wind speed.

That’s EXACTLY what my fear is ... those huge office (or apt) building windows just flying thru the air, crashing below. Walking around NYC or any city in Sandy’s path, will be dangerous. Hope everyone just stays put.

Pumps constantly run to keep the system dry I always wondered how the subway tunnels were kept dry...
Hey, those pumps are wind and solar powered...right? ;)

We used to call it "Plywood Place" (vs. "Hancock Place").
My grandpa worked on it and he was scared sh*tless.
The Kenyan must go.

I lived in Manhattan when Donna struck. Remember it well. Main effect - traffic lights were out pretty much everywhere and water backed up through the street drains which went straight to the East River (lived on the East side.)
