a cool tracking map i just found that updates in realtime so you can
keep it loaded on your screen to keep scaring the crap out of you

my building is really nervous cause we are a low lying valley of the
Yellowstone blvd riverbed, and have scaffolding on many buildings.

even though the hurricane may make landfall well south of NYC,
it's the convergence of 2 other storms that has many worried.

reply to DC DSL

A strong Cat 2 or Cat 3 could cause a "tremendous" storm surge. Not a moderate to weak Cat 1 that Sandy's expected to be at landfall. And if you look at my graphic, landfall is presently favored in central to southern Delaware, or Maryland from Ocean City to the VA line.

The issue is that we'll be in the NE quadrant with a southern landfall. This would lead to gale force winds out of the SE, pushing a lot of water directly towards the Jersey Shore and the south shore of LI. Coupled with the astronomical high tide, Sandy has a much higher storm surge potential than 4-5' we saw with Irene. It may not be the the 10-14' that some news outlets predict but it'll still be higher and in my estimation, will cause greater coastal flooding than what we saw last year.

Please use all available doors...you have 33 to choose from.

The 6PM forecasts here were saying it may well be a TS by the time it clears Hatteras. If it remains on or close the currently preferred track (landfall along the central Delmarva) y'all up there likely won't get more than a 4-6' surge into Delaware Bay and western LI...if that. The front that's approaching from the west will drag the storm and the attendant wind field westward before it can stoke the sea sufficiently for serious flooding up there.

Of course, this all goes out the window if the track changes back to the earlier predictions for more northerly landfall.

I think this is public (image is in realtime)

again, it's not Sandy but those other storms and
where and how they will converge that matters

Honestly I don't care about this storm - only my electricity.
i purposely moved to an urban area with underground power,
so when the juice fails, I'm like; WTF is wrong with this city.
one of the many things that sucks about apartment living,
you can't use your own gas powered electric generator

Is this guy for real?
