Hurricane Sandy Making Landfall on Southern Tip of NJ



Note the strong weather is on her SE side spreading across Delaware and Maryland.

Snow is spreading into NC, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.


Great link with lots of links:

Been using it for the last hour. My eyes are blurry and I have so many windows open.



This helps a lot, thanks ....

That link for Atlantic City is big... seems good parts of the Boardwalk are gone...



And, as I mentioned earlier...if Casinos are badly damaged...that badly damages the local economy in NJ and it will have larger ramifications later when the bills come due ...


This is the area being affected by Hurricane Sandy... immediately affected

Going in closer this is the area where Sandy is currently making landfall


If you click on this image you will see the many small beach towns that are on barrier islands
Many people did NOT leave as they really felt the storm would come in far to the North
NYC... 
However... 
Storms do what storms do in real time...they are hard to predict

It's a developing situation as they are trying to rescue people whose homes are now under water.

If you have power tonight and are reading my blog... be thankful. 

More than 1.5 Million customers are without power SO FAR...

Atlantic City Boardwalk severely damaged.. 
Piers.
Ships.
Homes.
Trees down everywhere.
Travel Haulted.

And, the list goes on and on..

So far this storm has the lowest barometric pressure ever seen in the Mid Atlantic.

940 MB....

Is it living up to expectations?

I think so.... where will it go? 
Models up on Spaghetti Models...
