Why Sandy Has Meteorologists Scared in 4 Images
She's huge. She's strong and might get stronger. She's strange. She's directing the might of her storm surge right at New York City.Hurricane Sandy has already caused her first damage in New York: the subway system will be shut as of 7pm tonight. Meteorologists are scared, so city planners are scared.

Dr. Ryan Maue, a meteorologist at WeatherBELL, put out this animated GIF of the storm's approach yesterday. "This is unprecedented --absolutely stunning upper-level configuration pinwheeling #Sandy on-shore like ping-pong ball," he tweeted. It shows how cold air to the north and west of the storm spin Sandy into the mid-atlantic coastline. (Nota bene: his models also show very high winds at skyscraper altitudes.)

Keeps on being a hurricane right over New Jersey.
My last post on this thread was over an hour ago.
You are the only demeaning thing on it.
All I am saying is the world will still be here when it is over.
ZOT
Ummmm, Wait.... I thought Bork Obunga was going to turn on his teleprompter and the seas will recede?
Oh? Then what do you call this?
There has never ever ever ever ever ever ever been a storm like this ever ever ever ever ever before in the whole history of the human race... nay... since the world formed!
People are about to die, and all you can do is joke about it? I can't believe that you promote yourself as a caring, concerned Christian here. What a fraud. You're nothing but a joker degrader.
Do what you like. I'm done with you.
To be clear, I have no ZOT powers, but that one was just begging for a ZOT, and apparently got it...
he will
any minute now
maybe when he wakes up
nice pic
; )

Ah, I see what you did there. OK, no ZOT, but still the lithium comment was a bit over the line. Or maybe I’m sensitive because I’ve dealt with people who have bipolar personality disorder (which is treated with lithium). It’s a nightmare...
Some people on FR are in denial about this storm.
I hope it misses the coast but it is not hype.
The uninhabited marshes of Louisiana is where the real danger is during storms. 30 torn apart trailers. A couple leanto’s sp ? being blown over.
I think I dated her back in the '70s.
....cause they all live in New York?
That isn't damage, that is simply a precaution.
Sigh. Look at the previous post. Do you think our technology takes care of that kind of thing?
The 1938 cat 3 storm, whose eye went through Northampton, 70 miles away, flooded NY.
Do you think the subway wasn’t there then? It was and it flooded.
Manhattan is surrounded by water, it’s an island, a tiny one.
NYers have a respect for and a very long and ancestral history of managing natural disasters.
Think about it.
Just because Bloomberg, cuomo and BO are in charge and are idiots, doesn’t mean they are wrong to get everyon out of there andout of dangerous places days in advance.
BO is screwed. He left the ambassador to be killed in the country BO sent him to to act in his stead (ambassador).
It will not go away.
But this storm is going to be huge.
OK and telling us over and over again how huge it is going to be helps how?
