There is an asterisk but if everything lines up just right Hurricane Sandy could be a whopper of a storm. I hope those in the path of this storm heed the early warning and bug out just in case!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I'm in Boston now, taking care of the grands while their folks are at a convention on the west coast. They're supposed to back Monday midnight and I'm to fly home Tuesday afternoon. The kids and I are shopping this afternoon for the "worst case". It's nice that I can stay longer if flights are messed up.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Hatches are battened down, food stocked, and we're locked and loaded. Bring it on! The kids will be soooo disappointed if this thing fails to materialize. lol
So the mid-Atlantic waters are the hottest they've been for October in recorded history - which will continue to power Sandy and lead to increased rainfall. Computer modeling predicts "an increase in heavy precipitation events in the 21st Century due to climate change is going to be a big problem for a flood control system designed for the 20th Century's climate." via Weatherunderground.com
