Sandy update - Monday morning
Heading into town to do the store buying run and checking the reports on Sandy first.
The
Jet stream looks to be pushing landfall further south.
From
AccuWeather: It's speed has increased to 20MPH and it is getting stronger with landfall expected around New Jersey around 9PM Monday evening. Flooding has already started.
From
AccuWeater: Lots of photos of flooding in NYC and Atlantic City with large sections of the boardwalk floating free. Waves crashing into the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn.
From NOAA:
The Cone
As bad as the flooding in NYC would be if it was a direct hit, now that it's heading to New Jersey, I am thinking about the refineries, the industrial chemical plants, the port facilities. This is going to put a serious crimp into our energy and our economy especially with an unseasonably cold winter coming on for the East Coast -- remember, a lot of Sandy's precipitation is going to come down as snow in the New England states...
