Hurricane Sandy

Looks like it will be hitting the mid-atlantic states sometime in a few days. Paul, Dammit! is a Sea Captain and writes at Hawsepiper:

Looks like we might get some saucy weather early next week. The National Weather Service is already blaming global warming, president Bush and the 1%.

But, no, seriously, it looks like the weather might be shitty after the weekend. The NWS, having seen the writing on the wall after Italy threw their seismologists under the bus last week for not predicting an earthquake, have predicted a 70% chance or rain, snow, wind, Kansas-to-Neverland wormholes, frogs, locusts and death of the firstborn son of the pharoh for New York. In between the chicken little screaming and running in circles, there is an ominous, slightly more worth-taking-time-to- ponder pressure gradient forming in the upper atmosphere, which, when coupled with the predicted tracks of said systems, could be quite shittay.

I'll keep my eye on it. I might have an unwanted day off next week, spent getting sandblasted by flying dust while trying to keep secured to a lay berth somewhere.
Storm track looks to be hitting the New Jersey area with landfall sometime around Tuesday the 30th. Posted by DaveH at October 25, 2012 6:40 PM
