Hurricane Sandy

Nope. :nono: Stop the panic. Ensemble model shows it passing NE of us.

And I'm breaking out the weather machine!! :evil:
Hope you're right. The path shows it coming straight at us with 80 mph winds, but a lot can change between now and Tuesday.

I would say that is correct in this case.....:whistle:



Well, speaking of crap. Latest advisory has the predicted track even farther south on impact..pretty much straight through Ocean City now.

Every update has it about 30-50 miles farther south than previous prediction. Be going right through Baltimore if this keeps up.

Baltimore could use a good cleansing, but Ocean City? :jameo:

Maryland is now under a State of Emergency.


BTW, there may be other threads on 'Sandy' started elsewhere or after I started this one but this is the only one in the news section (which is where I searched for the subject). I try not to violate my own pet peeve (which is several threads on the same topic). :buddies:

Believing the weather reports a week in advance is like believing the presidential polls. :duh:

Of course be prepared but don't start a milk, eggs & toilet paper panic until you hear the reports closer to Sunday.

Actually, the 11am info projects Sandy to landfall in DE which is what the 8am info said so they're consistant over that four hour period.

Just got back from a BJ's run... might I say it was packed... anywhooooo... if you do go to BJ's and are interested in battery operated lighting then head to the back corner at the automotive part of the store. You will find a really cool LED hanging lamp thingy that auto guys like to hang on the inside of the hood of a vehicle when they are working on the motor. It works on three AA batteries which are included, but it also comes with a cigarette lighter power cord. And it is only $9.99! These things will be useful even beyond any old storm! I only picked up two... now I want more...:bawl:

If this is coming right for us, Monday is when it will start.... 3 days away.
I heard that it's supposed to start raining here on Sunday morning and get worse throughout the day. I'm planning around that but I'll listen to the weather Saturday night and Sunday morning for a more accurate update. I might have to change my Sunday RR plans and that means Jennifer might miss out on me...

Are they cylindrical, about seven inches long and give you a warm sensation while they vibrate softly? If so, I gotta get one too!:starcat:

Lets take a detailed look at where the NOAA combined track crosses the coastline from each advisory..shall we? For grins, I've inserted the distance each has moved south...

015A 39.1641N 74.070W 0200hrs
18nm
016 38.8568N 74.9927W 0500hrs
2nm
016A 38.8226N 75.0146W 0800hrs
17nm
017 38.5482N 75.0806W 1100hrs

The 017 advisory track crosses the coast 2.9 mile north of Ocean City MD's northern limit.

They are saying we should expect 8-10 inches of rainfall before all is said and done.

Too cool. If it continues, this means it will make a U-turn and hit Haiti again.:roflmao:

I can't fix stupid but I am in awe of it.:jet:
