Hurricane Sandy: 'Super storm' to hit US

[Devin]

Miami - Hurricane Sandy, a late-season Atlantic cyclone that threatens to be one of the worst storms to hit the US Northeast in decades, slogged slowly northward early on Saturday after killing at least 41 people in the Caribbean.

Forecasters said wind damage, widespread and extended power outages and coastal and inland flooding were anticipated across a broad swath of the densely populated US East Coast when Sandy comes ashore early next week.

"We're expecting a large, large storm. The circulation of this storm as it approaches the coast could cover about the eastern third of the United States," said Louis Uccellini, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Centers for Environmental Prediction.

He stopped short of calling Sandy possibly the worst storm to hit the US Northeast in 100 years, as some weather watchers were doing, but said Sandy was shaping up to go down as a storm of "historic" proportions.

Con... Congratulations? School was closed for me too, both Monday and Tuesday, but I don't think this is an issue that you should be celebrating. I'm not quite sure about New York, but Governor Christie has placed a 'State of Emergency' alert in effect.

Good luck to whoever is living in that path.
Remeber its just a class 1, so it could be a LOT worse.

It's said to be one mother of a storm heading their way, hopefully they have evacuated all of the people in the high risk zones by now.

(Reuters) - Tens of millions of East Coast residents scrambled on Sunday to prepare for Hurricane Sandy, which could make landfall as the largest storm to hit the United States, bringing battering winds, flooding and even heavy snow.

                School is closed on Monday for us, damn I hope school is closed on Tuesday

I live in Ohio, southern at that. Weather stations (local and some national one) predict snow, up to 14-16 inches, all from this and a Cold Front we're experiencing. Quite ironic.

Funny how this topic is like 'Hey, I got no school because of this hurricane, dont care that it has the potential to kill a shitload of people, Im just happy I got no school.' :trust:

Yeah, but you know how it is with kids.



Tropical storm-force winds extending out to over 500 miles from the center - holy shit.

Good luck to all who are going to be hit by this...

                             Look, this ain't my first time going thru a hurricane, I've been thru hurricane Irene. And other hurricanes that happened.
