Latest official track has it making landfall along the northern Jersey Shore on Tuesday, which is pretty close to a worst case scenario for NYC in terms of storm surge. (Absolute worst case would have the storm churning directly up over New York Harbor).

ugh. i guess the only thing we can hope for is that it moves in and out quickly.
The NOAA writer called it "Frankenstorm", and someone already made a Twitter account for it.
I'd like to point out that this isn't new for NOAA/NWS, and I find it to be very irresponsible and unprofessional.

I agree. Maybe they dont have homes and family right in the path of the storm, or where storms have the ability to hit.Originally Posted by Phil D.
I apologize for my wording but my point still stands. The media went into overdrive scaring the hell out of New Yorkers and in the end the storm was nowhere as bad as people predicted it to be. So yes compared to the hype that preceded it the storm was more bark than bite.

You will never know what you will be capable of until you try
Holy Mother of God .. look at the latest spaghetti models. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical..._ensmodel.html
I dont know what the wind/pressure will be, but it looks like its stopping over our houses.
Aren't hurricane paths supposed to be notoriously unpredictable ? Is there a chance it might veer off course at the last minute and head out to sea ?

Is that a CAMRN FOUR or a ROBER ONE approach??
I agree. Maybe he's trying to get a job at The Weather Channel.

I'd also like to point out that I read those text forecasts on "boring" days and there are such casual conversation in there is commonplace. The NWS/NOAA just shouldn't have that for potentially dangerous storms.

I drove around with Fred. Many trees down. Water came halfway up the block. Power was out awhile. Def not a dud.

This is a serious storm, and maybe I've been a little over the top, but this guy is going a little nuts here. This storm will affect a huge number of people, but for most the effects will be inconvenience like loss of power and water. Worst case, I think, is that parts of Manhattan and the subways will be flooded and unusable for some period of time. This is not the kind of storm that's going to blow people's houses down. The main threat will be flooding, which is a serious problem in some areas but much less so in others. Sure, the local economy will crap out for awhile and people will suffer, but to say this a more dangerous storm than say, Katrina, which killed over 1,800 people, is a bit much.
