Historic Storm: Hurricane Sandy Affecting the U.S. East Coast
WASHINGTON
DC/BALTIMORE - SEVERE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.
*Expect Heavy Rain,
Strong sustained winds over 40 mph, Flooding, Downed Trees, Power Outages* --
Expect these conditions for at least 3-4 days. Here's a full update on local conditions from Hurricane
Sandy from Eastern Virginia to Washington, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New Jersey and New York City. **This is a dangerous storm, MUCH more
dangerous than a Category 1 hurricane... because of the size and
duration (It's a SLOW MOVER) - and it's tropical storm force winds Span
500 MILES! That's as far as Boston to Richmond, VA!
TIPS: Be careful, expect power outages, COOK FREEZER food today; get batteries. Load the Freezer with ICE, Get out Blankets (It'll be cold over the next several days). **CLEAN leaves out of street drains** Expect Flooded roads and downed Trees** ***LIMIT OR DON'T TRAVEL TONIGHT, TOMORROW or TUESDAY if possible**
WHAT'S HAPPENING: the National Hurricane Center forecasts hurricane Sandy to track to the northeast to a position well off the North Carolina Coast Sunday night...before shifting to the northwest and moving toward the southern New Jersey and Delaware coasts Monday into Tuesday. The track of sandy is expected to bring high winds to the region Monday through Tuesday evening.
TODAY'S NASA HURRICANE PAGE UPDATE/Satellite video/image: ( I wrote this today)
NASA Satellites See Sandy's Winds Expand as Storm Intensifies
- Hurricane Sandy should not be considered a category one hurricane because it has drawn energy from a cold front and become a monster storm that covers about one-third of the U.S. Sandy's massive size out-classes most hurricanes, and the depth, winds, storm surge and rain over such a huge area hasn't been seen in recent memory. NASA satellite imagery provided a look at the 2,000 mile extent of the monster storm.
