I'm in the North East and it seems like we'll see "the storm of a lifetime" when Hurricane Sandy meets a huge cold front in the upcoming days. It's so unusual that all the "experts" that I've heard in both Canadian and American media have never seen anything like it and can't really predict what's going to happen. All they know is that the tropical storm will "blow up" when it meets the cold front from the north.

I usually like extreme temperatures but this one could be devastating. Sandy has killed more than 40 people already. We'll see.
 
Anyone been in contact with our dear friends on the East Coast today to see how they are faring? Haven't heard from Secret yet in NY today.

Hope you all are safe/well. It's a beautiful sunny, fall day here in the Midwest.
 
Hi,

So far, so good but I am dreading delivering on Monday morning. I am going to avoid the tree lined roads as much as possible. I am moving my usual parking place for my van at home (from under my huge oak tree) and parking it in the road.

I was watching the Weather Channel and had to turn it off to a different channel, it does not look good at all...right now I am watcing 'Pro's guide to Las Vegas' LOL on 'Destination America'. :):eek::D

Be safe everone and hope you have plenty of batteries, water, hopefully a generator of somesorts...charge up your cell phone now and candles.

Thanks, Beth for your concern....:cool::)

The film "Perfect Storm" dramatises one such event, covering the loss of the fishing vessel "Andrea Gale". They are rare, but seem to occur when a hurricane transforms into a "cold core" storm upon meeting the jet stream rather than dying as it moves over colder waters. You are right to fear it, as it breaks the usual rules for both types of storm. Evacuating the coast does not mean you will be safe, even though it will be safer than staying put. It seems most are doing the right thing in stocking up on supplies so that if necessary they can ride out the storm from the relative comfort of home.

I thought this thread was about a new slot too, till I heard about this "superstorm" on the news this morning.
 
I've gotten home from another 3 day "vacation" at the hospital to prepare for this crap :( People here are paranoid as many are STILL doing cleanup from last years Irene and Lee damage. I have to go Wal-Mart today to have my prescriptions filled and it's the LAST place I want to be. My son says they've been crazy for the last few days, my daughter told me the grocery store shelves are almost bare already and none are expected to get deliveries until Wed. or thursday (after the worst of the storm is over).

I received a text message from my electric supplier stating to expect massive power outages beginning midmorning Monday so they can supply areas which get hit first to aid in rescue, etc.

To everyone in the path of Sandy, please keep yourselves safe! secret2,BingoT, rockycatt, justplay, LHofsdal and anyone else I've forgotten!...keeping everyone in my prayers that you all remain safe and protected with minimal damage!

We have a HUGE tree behind our garage that is attached to our house :eek:

They are saying NOT to use candles? I have this little lantern type thingy, it has a light and radio, that's what we used last year.

You know what's weird? I'm in Massachusetts and it's already pretty windy out.

My husband drives for a living, I'm a nervous person in general, but I'm very nervous about him driving around tomorrow and Tuesday. :baby:
 
I understand you being nervous.....just tell your hubby, as I am sure he will...is that HE is number ONE and the customers have to wait...his safety comes first..,and that's how I feel.



Um...got a spare xanax? ;)

Hey, that Xanax is pretty neat stuff! They gave that to me before they did the heart cath friday morning. I can't say the same for the nitro though:eek2:, it took away the pains, but left me with a hellish headache I can't seem to shake (but some of it may be attributed to the low pressure from the storm too).

By the time the storm reches Ontario, it might be all snow. I know they are calling for a mix of rain and snow in higher elevations for my area and I'm only 3 hrs away from the city. I got myself some chinese take out for dinner (i can reheat over sternos) and that will last me for 2 or 3 meals. The grocery store was UNBELIEVABLE! What are these people thinking??? If we lose power as they say, how are they going to keep all of this food refrigerated? And if they don't have a gas stove, how are they going to cook it all??? I bought dog food and cat food (not for me!!! HAHAHAHA), a loaf of bread, some peanut butter, a small package of sliced ham and a small package of sliced turkey and a small jug of milk for my cereal. There's soup in my cupboards, lots of instant coffee, bottled water, every available pot, pan, bucket, etc. is filled so I have water for the critters, water to flush toilet, and water to wash with. Candles are out, flashlights are all working, battery operated radio is ready to go, kerosene lamps are filled. I have enough gas to run the generator for a day and a half if necessary.

I'm just glad I don't have young children who will have to be entertained when the power goes out...no tv, no computer, no XBox, PS3...:D My biggest concern will be trying to keep my PITA cat from playing in the water once it starts invading the basement. Cats are supposed to NOT like water, right??? Not this one! She sits in the tub when I shower, she's in the sink when I do the dishes, she's a freak!

Anywho, gonna try to keep up with everyone here as long as I can...keep safe secret2, please no unnecessary chances when you go out tomorrow.

Hopefully you won't get it too bad, you stay safe as well.

I wouldn't consider it "neat", it's a neccesity for my life. If they gave it to you before a heart cath they were trying to relax you, much like Valium (sp?) It takes away my panic/anxiety disoder to an extent.

I don't want to be home alone :eek2:
 
JJ from new york city

Hi to all from the upper east side of new york city. No craziness here yet but the subway system and mass transit systems are closing in a few hours. Most pubs are still open(thank the lord) but they're asking people by battery park and the south street seaport to leave. Hope it's not not as bad as people are hyping it to be but two huge fronts are going to collide somewhere around here.......perfect storm type of thing I guess..... Hope it passes and no one is hurt..... JJ
 
Here in New England. Minor drizzles of rain today and very strange sky. All schools and state and federal offices closed for Monday. They predicting an epic storm.

Stay safe everyone and let's just hope our internet stays!!
 
sandy?!

Sandy ... too good a nick name for Frankenstein. Hope all turns out well for my east coast friends. God Bless!!

What about the rainbow arcs? I've been reading your thread with the wonders, looking at YouTube over strange noises, studying the H.A.R.P. system...all odd. I wonder if this storm is truly a mother nature event...understand what I am saying...or not saying?

One thing seems to have cropped up, the shelves empty pretty quick at the store, panic buying without too much thought. A better idea might be to ALWAYS have a good supply of non perishable goods to hand, so that when such an event strikes, you are not battling with everyone else at the grocery store for limited supplies. Tinned goods, dried goods provided you can be pretty sure flood waters won't get high enough to ruin them, along with plenty of batteries and "camping" cooking facilities that don't rely on outside supply. Those water purification tablets found in camping stores would be useful, as this would allow marginal water to be made sdafe enough to use for cooking and drinking if problems last for a long time. Plenty of warm blankets and clothes too where cold and snow is expected. Heavy snow can be worse than heavy rain, as it can quickly create impenetrable drifts that prevent rescue services reaching some places, and prevent repair crews attending to broken services.

Small communities could also get together and help each other out so that no-one suffers from a simple oversight such as forgetting to get enough batteries, cooking fuel, etc.

I saw the storm on the long range forecast model this morning, and although it starts big, it seems to show it dying down pretty quickly. It's possible the model isn't handling the event very well though, as it is pretty rare. Hurricanes are hard to model, and their course is often given as a range, shown as a "cone" shaped path. As it seems to stay over the coast, inland will have strong northerly winds, and thus the possibility of considerable snowfalls.

Roy, are you honestly saying that this storm has been created by HAARP/the government/the CIA etc?

I really hope you aren't.

So true! I can't believe how many people are guilty of not having ANYTHING that could potentially save their lives if anything bad would happen. No canned/dry food, no water, no cash money, not even a friggin' flashlight. People nowadays rely EXCLUSIVELY on the government to save their butts in case of a disaster. They need to be warned in advance and do last minute shopping. And then still need rescuers. How pathetic.

I'm not afraid of this storm at all and I didn't do any shopping for it. I could comfortably live 2+ weeks in my home with no power without even setting a foot outside, I'm prepared all year round.

It's going to be pretty bad methinks. North east isn't Florida, we are not used to this at all. CAT 1 hurricane hitting Long Island can be more devastating than a CAT 3 hitting down south. That's kind of like having a huge snowstorm in Canada vs. the same snowstorm in Texas.

Also, the storm is expected to stall inland because of the cold front and stay there for days.

That is the big problem. This happened in the winter of 1977/78 in the UK, and there was a sharp divide between places that had a heavy snowstorm, and further west where the front stalled for over a week, and dumped snow in a relatively small area, which was to the south west, a region not used to such prolonged and heavy snow. I was just outside this "dump zone" in Southampton, but Bournemouth, less than 30 miles west, was inside. There were reports of 20 foot drifts and cut off communities.

We had the same kind of problem in 2010 and 2011, but at least in parts of the country more accustomed to being cut off by winter snowstorms. Places that expect to be cut off on a regular basis do tend to have things in reserve. The problem is getting people to take measures when they are not used to such things, and presume this will be nothing worse than they have had before. They expect to be able to wait till the forecasters tell them the event is a certainty, and then nip down the store to get what they need. Unfortunately, everybody else has the same idea, and the stores just can't cope with such a surge in demand. Leaving it too late also doesn't give enough time for more stock to be ordered and delivered.

My car was pretty much snowed in for 2 weeks in 2010. The council didn't clear minor roads, only the major ones. To reach a gritted road would have meant a day spent digging out the car. Fortunately, I saw it coming and had gone shopping before it came. The forecast on TV didn't really make it sound too bad, so there was plenty in the shops. Being a Meteorologist, I can see this kind of thing coming further ahead than most others, and can hit the shops before the crowds.
 
This has just appeared on the UK Met Office blog about Sandy.

There is a reference to the "Perfect Storm" I mentioned earlier.



Sandy looks set to impact parts of the mid-Atlantic and north-eastern USA like last year’s ‘Halloween Nor’easter’ storm of 2011 and the ‘Perfect Storm’ of 1991. As Sandy approaches land the warm moist air circulating within the hurricane will meet cold air spreading south into the north-eastern USA from Canada. This provides the potential for the storm to develop further and produce severe winds, heavy rain, flooding and even snow on its north and west flanks as it hits land.

Uncertainties remain as to the precise location and timing of landfall. The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center takes Sandy over the Mid-Atlantic states, very close to Delaware and New Jersey, later on tonight or Tuesday morning. However, due to the large size of the storm (around 600 miles across), the impacts from Sandy will be widespread and not just limited to where the centre of the storm makes landfall.

Storm surge, combined with high tide, could cause extensive flooding to low lying areas, between 4 and 8 inches of rain could fall over portions of the northeast coast and 2 to 3 ft of snow is expected in the mountains of West Virginia.

Some of the store owners have jacked prices up on everything from water to generators. Glad we were prepared days ago.
Really is a shame they take advantage of the situation. A generator normally selling for $499 is now at $1499. Bastard should be shot.

Stay safe everyone!
 
I'm in Massachusetts and they say the worst will be starting around 3pm, and last until midnight tonight or longer til Tuesday morning. We have a bit of wind, not much. My husband is in Ct. he says not much is happening there yet either.

It's supposed to take that left turn into the states, that's when we will get all the damaging winds. Where I live Western Mass, we don't have to worry about flooding, but certainly about the winds. We still have leaves on our trees and that makes damages much worse.

Why do you find this so hard to believe?, I noticed once again you have failed to mention the link I gave which has NASA people (based on their tests and relative findings) stating there are tell tale signs of HAARP being involved in the Fukushima disaster. HAARP controls weather by charging the ionosphere, there are many independent groups that monitor HAARP activity, in particular a website named Haarp Status.com which has a network of sensors that measure the upper atmosphere for signals, a recent graph from their site...........


haarpstatusmap.webp

Tell tale signs once again that HAARP is at the centre of yet another `Worse <insert random quirk of nature here> since records began` disaster.

34 years ago a treaty was signed by UN members, a treaty based on weather warfare and not using it against other members of the UN....


It opened for signature on 18 May 1977 in Geneva and entered into force on 5 October 1978. The Convention bans weather warfare, which is the use of weather modification techniques for the purposes of inducing damage or destruction. The Convention on Biological Diversity of 2010 would also ban some forms of weather modification or geoengineering

Ofc - I cannot prove that HAARP is the cause of hurricane Sandy anymore than you can prove it is not, but, can you offer relative information from a source that say for arguments sake monitors none HAARP activity?.

Cast your mind back to when you was a kid, how many earthquakes around the coast of Australia do you remember?, was it this many?.......
