Delaware roads closed to public after 5:00 a.m.

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8863176

WILMINGTON, Del. - October 28, 2012 (WPVI) — Delaware Governor Jack Markell has ordered that no one will be allowed on Delaware roads after 5:00 a.m. Monday except for emergency and essential personnel.

The governor’s office notified Action News of that order late Sunday night as Hurricane Sandy approached.

Markell said it is a ‘Level 2 Driving Restriction.’

Look at this image. There's a connection between the coastal main storm and what looks like a cloud stream coming from the Gulf of Mexico. Is that gulf connection pumping moisture into Sandy? My guess would be you betcha!

From Special Weather Statement:
SANDY IS FORECAST TO MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER SANDY WILL IMPACT THE REGION WELL BEFORE IT COMES ASHORE ON MONDAY NIGHT.

Yes and it’s so big it is causing dangerous weather in many areas.

What is this nonsense about the eastern US being without power for weeks?

__________

I would assume that the US Urban power grid is a tad more complicated and extensive. And not engineered for hurricanes.

The little blurb below the webcam says wave height is 3 to 4 feet.

So you're saying the waves are that high rather than the tide, and you're using eyesight and recollection rather than official measurement?

Exactly, and the impact on Philly has been strangely ignored by the news. But it will test out the theory that Obama’s enthusiasm is way down, while I think you couldn’t stop most Romney voters with shotguns.

It’s definitely the surge and tide and not the waves that are the story here (although the waves obviously add to the total).

Huge Battery Park jpeg. Seawall I read is only 5’ above normal high tide IIRC?

Sandy has been sucking in dry air from the south and west for the past two days. The clouds you're talking about are actually moving from north to south in the satellite loops. They aren't coming from the gulf.

I am worried this may energize Dem voters by Obama being ‘presidential’ or even convert some indies.

That said, I doubt it will happen.

He saw no bump from the hurricane hitting NO earlier this year.

Watching the clouds tonight here in Northern New England. The lower clouds are scooting south at a really brisk clip while the higher clouds are still.

Lordy! I jus seen this update on my tv on the hysterical channel!

Hurricane sandy final advisory number 666
nws tpc/national hurricane center miami fl
2210 pm sun oct 28 2012

A massive hurricane, ney, a titanic black mass of destruction, born of the cold, evil womb of mother nature, will render much of the eastern seaboard a barren wasteland. Sandy is coming.

Such is the power of this storm, if indeed, anything dispensing this amount of human suffering can be called a storm.

The storm surge, once predicted at 17 feet, will now reach unheard of heights. If will be as if the ocean itself has vacated it’s vast prison, shaking loose her chains, and laying itself prone atop the cities of man. The last vestiges of it’s bondage sinking all that lies in it’s path.

All structures with in a 100 mile radius will suffer devastating effects. Wood will splinter, concrete will become dust. The foundations will be the stark remnants of human existence in these areas. Trees will become uprooted and carried miles by winds that will blast the very skin from anyone foolish enough to remain outside. But they will be the lucky ones...the first to die. For a much greater misery awaits those that survive.

Amidst this mire of carnage, the few survivors will wallow in a soup of death and despair, as they face grim odds. Few structures will exist, and food and water will be more precious than gold. As corpses of humans and animals rot, dysentery and malaria will begin their macabre dance among those remaining and many will be forced to consume one another to live one final day.

Entire generations will perish, and the hurricane will creep into legend. It will be a sin to even call its name aloud, the very existence of this event being spoken of in hushed tones, and revered by those who see it as judgment. Sandy is here. Sandy is here. Sandy is here. Sandy is here. Sandy is here.

Yall reckon this bulliten is real?

If this were a real tropical hurricane the higher clouds would be from outflow and moving in the opposite direction of the lower clouds.

So is this hype or not, is this system one to pay attention to?
FR is crazy and will FR get worse the closer the election gets, with all the stuff in the world that has happen just in 2012 alone?

No hype zone: this is gonna be a historic level storm for a bunch of different reasons. Size, pressure levels, time of year, angle of approach, dmg level....that’s just for starters.
