north east tropical storm sandy

Heh...My sandbar gets a nice storm every hurricane season, we had irene last year, this year we'll get a taste of sandy. Cat 1 storm tho, so me and the dogs will stay at the house while the wife heads to the hotel she works at. I guess I can understand why all you northern folks are freaking out..high winds and flooding it cities unused to it does create a bit of havoc. I should be more worried but I deal with this year after year, not to mention being 2 miles out in the ocean I'm used to it and have a safe place to go if need be. Cat 1 storm tho is sit at home an drink some beer while breaking things down. 2 or higher and me and the dogs head up to the hotel with the wife. Otherwise..a really cool thunderstorm...lol.

By the time it reaches you all up north it'll be a Tropical storm/Nor'easter. Pssh..nothing like Irene.
Either way wish everyone the best who is in the path and do be smart..and safe.

Sirscrapalot - Is going to be busy next week with flood damaged items and clean outs.

While it may only be a tropical storm by the time it gets to us, if it snuggles up to a high pressure system looming further up north we have the classic "Perfect Storm" This is what us New Yorkers are really concerned about. The combined winds around both merge to bring an awful northeast storm, capable of massive coastal erosion. Now if this storm hits at high tide....well ugly things will happen
