Hurricane Sandy

[ZenGum]

Sandy is on the news around the world.

As a hurricane ... actually not too powerful. But the way it looks like interacting with a nor-easter storm could really amp it up just as it makes landfall, which it looks like doing smack on the densely populated north east.
For added fun, I've read there are some odd jet stream patterns which could slow Sandy's movement and almost lock it in place over the north east.

For even more fun, the full moon is in a day or two, meaning king tides. Add that to storm surges and wave walls, and sheeee-yiiit, this thing could make a mess.

Good luck all.

Yeah, that jet stream is weird, dipping way south then almost due north. That and the high up north (not Ibby, air mass) is going to cause this thing to sit for a couple days dumping heavy rain.
