Thanks uwu

You too if you're gonna be affected as well.

 

I live in Veracruz, Mexico... so I´m safe, but as in my country Hurricanes are a common event, we know the consecuences of these so, be careful Edited October 28, 2012 by Blacksun30

my god ilu

[King Riku 2,063]

I had to.

 

But in all honestly, so long as my family doesn't get hurt, I really wouldn't mind a good storm. I rather enjoy listening to the wind and rain pounding down on the roof.

Sandy cam in NY.

[Shana09 5,769]

Bad news.

 

Sandy is almost done creating her new eyewall, which will make her go rapid intensification. She has time to intensify, meaning she will become even more stronger than she already is. She might have time, she has a big chance of pulling more suprises since she has done that since the time she was formed. Be sure to stay safe guys!

 

 

 

ALSO

 

If you have to evacuate, then evacuate. DO NOT go to low elevation areas. They are never good, due to the fact the storms strength is mostly in surges.

 

It'd be nice to take pictures and videos of the storm! Thank you very much

Post it here.

EVEN MORE BAD NEWS

 

As NY, NJ, Delaware and even more states in the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast feel the impacts of the storm, just know this storm is still strengthening Proof? Well it's a Category 1 85 mph sustained winds storm, which it intensified by 10 mph sustained winds. BUT they found 100+mph wind as of now, so it's strengthening, and it could be way stronger than it is now. Also the worst is coming at night, also around 3 PM (For me in NYC) when the squalls came, which doubles the rain and wind you are getting now.

Perfect Summary whats happening and happened to Sandy since the day she was born:

 

It appears Sandy has about 4 hours left before crossing the sharp SST gradient defining the Gulf Stream. That will signal the end of intensifying any further, tropically. But this is when baroclinic energy will really start hitting the storm.

 

It almost defies logic, this storm. Think about it...

 

For the last 4 days there's been something going against this storm which would have killed off most other storms but, conversely, there was also some atmospheric mechanism at play counteracting its main hindrance.

 

It went through the roughest terrain of Cuba, but did so as an intensifying, accelerating storm. Came through on the other side only 5kt weaker than she went in.

 

Then Sandy met the upper low over the southeastern Gulf. Extremely dry air through a deep layer of the atmosphere, 50kts of shear. Piece of cake. She'll just place herself within the divergent sector of the shear pattern to maintain.

 

Found a small niche and changed just enough, structurally, to develop an inner core just as she hit the Gulf Stream, to maximize as best a storm of this size could, the additional heat energy provided.

 

This brings us to where we are at present and in the near future. Leaving the Gulf Stream, yes, but entering a baroclinic environment ripe for explosive development of a cyclone transitioning from tropical to extra-tropical.

 

Every time this storm met a challenge; mountains, shear, dry air, cold waters, it not only shrugged it off, but grew stronger. It's like this storm is destined to chart a course for the worst-case scenario.

 

That brings us to tonight when the storm is expected to make landfall. High tide. High astronomical tide. Right angle to the coastline. Bottlenecks and bays. Most densely populated region of the country. Record IKE. A once-in-200 year wind event in a region inland clear cut since the last big event such as this (before any reliable records were kept).

 

This is as bad as it gets. A true worst-case scenario.

 

Think about how bad this may get. A nighttime surge in a massive region likely to be pitch black from loss of power. Inland, people stranded on roads by multiple trees blocking both ways of the road. If you're in this situation on a rural road. It may be days before you're cut out of there because main roads will also be cut by fallen trees, power lines, floods, etc. Do not leave your house for this storm unless you're being evacuated. You will be risking your life outside today and tonight.

inb4 no one gets what this posts just said

google search will suffice

New Canadian Report:

WOCN31 CWHX 291145

Tropical cyclone information statement updated by the Canadian

Hurricane Centre of Environment Canada at 8:52 AM ADT Monday

29 October 2012.

------------------------------------------------- --------------------

Tropical cyclone information statement for:

Nova Scotia

New Brunswick

Southern Quebec

Southern Ontario.

 

For hurricane Sandy.

 

The next statement will be issued by 3:00 PM ADT.

 

Large and dangerous hurricane Sandy beginning to turn toward

The U.S. coastline. Southern Ontario, Southern Quebec and

Southwestern Maritimes will experience high wind gusts and

Periods of heavy rain beginning later today and continuing into

Tuesday.

 

------------------------------------------------- --------------------

==discussion==

1. Summary of basic information at 9.00 AM ADT.

 

Location: near 36.8 north 71.1 west, or about 490 kilometres

south-southeast of New York City.

 

Maximum sustained winds: 140 km/h.

 

Present movement: north at 32 km/h.

 

Minimum central pressure: 946 MB.

 

2. Public weather impacts and warnings summary.

 

Hurricane Sandy intensified slightly overnight and continues to be an

extremely large and dangerous tropical cyclone. Sandy has turned

northward and will turn northwestward today while maintaining

hurricane intensity. Sandy is forecast to gradually undergo

extra-tropical transition as it heads toward the New Jersey coast.

It is possible that Sandy could strengthen further prior to moving

inland tonight.

 

It is important to emphasize that impacts from post-tropical Sandy

extend over an extremely large area well away from the storm center.

It is advised that persons in the above listed regions pay close

attention to messages from the Canadian Hurricane Centre, as well as

information from regional storm prediction centres for the latest

official forecasts and warnings for your area.

 

For additional information please refer to warning bulletins issued

this morning by the Ontario storm prediction centre and the Quebec

storm prediction centre.

 

A. Rainfall.

 

Rain directly related to post-tropical Sandy will begin to affect

Southern Ontario later this afternoon with the heaviest bands

reaching the province this evening and overnight into Tuesday. Latest

indications are that general amounts of 20 to 40 millimetres are

possible with locally higher amounts in excess of 50 millimetres

possible. Rainfall amounts could vary greatly with location depending

on the movement of some of the smaller heavier rainbands with this

system.

 

Periods of heavy rain will affect Southern and Central Quebec

starting this evening. Amounts of 20 to 40 millimetres are expected

with higher amounts possible over higher terrain.

 

The precipitation could mix with or change to snow over parts of

Ontario and extreme Western Quebec as temperatures approach the

freezing mark north and west of the storm.

 

Rain is not expected to reach the southwestern Maritimes until

Tuesday morning but could persist into Wednesday from a developing

frontal system not directly associated with Sandy. Amounts could be

significant and total amounts could exceed 50 millimetres through

Wednesday.

 

B. Winds.

 

The Quebec storm prediction centre has issued wind warnings for

Parts of the St Lawrence River Valley beginning later today. The

Ontario storm prediction centre has issued wind warnings for

Adjacent areas of the St Lawrence Valley as well as other parts of

Southern Ontario for high wind gusts beginning later tonight and

continuing on Tuesday.

 

Over Southern Ontario, gusts to 90 km/h or higher are likely

especially along Western Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment as

well as areas adjacent to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. These wind

gusts have the potential to cause broken tree limbs or in some cases

uprooted trees which may result in downed utility lines. Residual

falling leaves can also obstruct storm water drainage systems along

roadways particularly in urban areas. This combined with heavy

rainfall could increase the risk of flooding in some areas.

 

Very strong northeast winds will affect Southern Quebec starting

This evening and persisting Tuesday morning. The strongest winds are

expected in the St Lawrence Valley where gusts could also exceed

90 km/h.

 

Gusty winds can also be expected in the Maritimes starting Monday

afternoon and persisting Tuesday. Gusts up to 80 km/h are expected

along coastal areas of Southwestern Nova Scotia, with slightly lower

winds expected further to the north and east.

 

C. Waves.

 

Large waves are very likely over portions of the Great Lakes

beginning later today and into Tuesday. High seastates up to 7 metres

are possible over Southern Lake Huron.

 

There will be large waves and pounding surf along the

Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. Seastates near Southwestern Nova

Scotia will be in the 5 to 7 metre range and seas father offshore

will be near 9 metres. This could result in locally elevated water

levels along the south shore.

 

3. Marine weather impacts and warnings summary.

 

Gale and storm force wind warnings are in effect for western

Maritimes marine areas for today and tonight. Gale and storm force

wind warnings are also in effect most of the Great Lakes.

 

Gale force winds extend several hundred kilometres outward from the

center of Sandy's circulation and have already reached southwestern

maritime marine waters. Winds over Georges Bank could reach up to 60

knots by noon today.

 

Also, higher than normal water levels are expected on the St Lawrence

River during high tide this evening and especially Tuesday evening.

This could result in coastal flooding in the Quebec City region.
