I am interested in watching this show, which will show what might happen if a Category 3 hit New York City. Is it possible? If the waters get warm, like last year, and if it is a fast moving storm that gets on the verge of Category 6 (180 mph; not an official category) before heading into colder waters, and if it hits the NE corner of New Jersey, I suppose it could cause Tomorrow to happen to NYC. But there has not been a severe hurricane there since the New England monster of 1938.

I do find the Weather Channel publicity on this storm to be terrible. The local newspaper does not show the Weather Channel in its listings. Now that may be because the same thing happens over and over again on the Weather Channel: the forecast. But it does not even show the special in its list of special programs. There has been no advertisement of this program on TV other than on the Weather Channel.

When you go to the Weather Channel site, the words "TV", "listing", and "television" occur absolutely nowhere on its front page. I have to Google "TV Listing weather channel" to get it, and then I get a page that does show the schedule but is marooned from all other Weather Channel pages (except its music page), namely

http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/programming/

and that does not contain the program tonight.

There is one other place where you can find information about it, and that's the site whose front page is in the first message in this thread. But if you look on http://www.weather.com, you see a link "Dallas F5 Tornado", but when you click on that, you get exactly the same information as you do from the hurricane in New York, and a click on "Dallas" on the red map yields only the information that it will be there later. If that's the case, the link should not have been on the front page.

thats 9:30 est right?

[mike815]

that is correct

[Astro_man92]

well now it is practicly on

[Epsilon_Fan]

Pretty interesting and accurate... it wasn't exaggerated that much. The chances of a storm tracking like that is pretty good although anything over a Cat 3 seems far fetched!

[brunota2003]

They showed Isabel like 20 times though...lol

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

i missed it

[mike815]

lol i didnt even watch it. tivoed it maybe later on ill watch it

[beachbum_al]

Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot. So that will be 10:30 central time. Opps I think I am backwards. That would had been 8:30 my time. I missed it.

[brunota2003]

OMG, according to this map, the storm they showed was only a Category 1 at landfall, when it devasted Manhattan...

[mike815]

dont cry u probably didnt miss much

[HURAKAN]

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I REMAINED EVERYONE AND I MISSED IT!

I WILL TRY TO SEE IT AT 11:30 PM!

I saw it, and it was a good show. I liked the description of the 1938 hurricane the best, especially the Providence flood. It did have a tendency to flash scenes all over the place, so you did not get a good look at any of them. I saw the same satellite hurricane pictures over and over again - someone said that was Isabel they showed. They showed the geometry of the NYC area and how that would exacerbate the effects of the hurricane, and they showed the most important aspects - evacuation, winds, and storm surge. It did start late.

Now we wait until next week, when the F5 tornado hits Dallas.
