On other boards, I'm seeing people say they're tired of the hype and stressed out by it and are just going to sit back and wait it out.




Probably not a real good idea depending on where they live.

When was the last time a storm actually made "landfall" on Delaware?

I could be wrong but I think it was Danielle in September 1992

Agree with NHC on the weakening as it tracks NE then strengthening prior to landfall. Note that the NHC track points are 24 hrs apart between 72-96 hrs and don't show the west turn well. Could be moving due west at landfall. Impact as a subtropical or extratropical storm with 80 mph winds. Major power outages over large area. Power likely out for weeks in some areas.

That 5 pm track looks like a direct hit on D.C.? Has that ever happened in hurricane history?

(Note: I know this won't be a true "hurricane" by then... but what some are calling a "hybridicane"...)

Will some of those folks without power have to endure snow as well as the storm moves out...just horrible to think they have to deal with such cold, with no power...after dealing with the storm itself if thats the case.

What is that other circ that is racing up the island chain towards center? You can see it on sat rainbow loop. You can clearly see two seperate circ that appear they are about to join.

I thought it might be helpful to post storm surge / SLOSH model for the mid-Atlantic.

Here's the link:

These are not Sandy-specific as I understand it. I imagine the NOAA site has more updated Sandy-specific surge maps. I may go check there shortly.

Here's part of the latest post at Dr. Jeff Masters' blog at Wunderground (this post by Angela Fritz).

NOTE: Storm Surge Destructive Potential has INCREASED.

The Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coasts should be prepared for a storm surge no matter their exact location. A large portion of the coast will feel the impact of up to 60 mph winds and heavy rain. According to the most recent H*Wind analysis from the Hurricane Research Division is that storm surge has a destructive potential of 4.8 out of 6.0, which is a slight increase from previous analyses. Wind damage potential is holding steady around 2.3 out of 6.0. NOAA's HPC is forecasting rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and possibly more in coastal locations close to the core of the storm. Widespread power outages from Maine south to Virginia are likely, due to the combination of long-lived gale-force winds, leaves on trees, and rain that will moisten the soil and possibly increase the chances of falling trees. Snow in the Appalachians is also possible as the intense moisture meets the cold air being pulled south by the mid-latitude trough.
