Sandy's coming
 

hurracaine sandy is approching the east coast of america, it could be worse than anything they've expeirienced, the veiw from space reveals it measures 800 miles wide, when it lands it will cover as many as 12 states.
sounds like it could be a bad one

it's been nicknamed frankenstorm

frankenstorm :laugh:

Looks like it's time to panic or something.

Frankenstorm is heading straight for Bootle in Liverpool

I grew up in Northern Virginia, so i've been through a few of these in my time.

I can just imagine the loonies claiming this has been created by scientists to affect the election

Philadelphia, back in the day, but they rarely came that far inland to do any kind of real damage. This one looks like a knuckle ball though. :joker:

Both candidates are no doubt at the ready to be airlifted to the exact site of a crying infant near the floodwater towns.
:joker:

I was watching Fox News the other day(it makes me feel like I'm in America:blush: ) and the said it could be a like a Perfect Storm only inland and not out in the water:shocked:

don't

I watch Fox News when I'm in America :hmph:

It's like I'm a native:amazed:

Having a go. Love it, Glenn. :joker:

Parts of New York are being evacuated

I lived in south Carolina for a while and used to go to Wilmington nc quite often and they were always getting hit by hurricanes....they had evacuation routes marked out all the time...:o

Hope it changes course before it hits

New York is pretty much in lockdown :o

Thinking of the people who will be affected by it:(.

Here's some live streams if anyone's interested.

Thanks Josy :love: Times Square looks pretty crowded, I thought the streets would be empty.

Probably sneaking around in case anything collapses so they can get free stuff

I would travel to a state that doesn't have this Frankenstorm.

Kind of scary cause i'm in New York, hope it's okay :p

What time is it due to make landfall? is it hitting now?

edit:sorry yes just seen the progress on GG's post

time to hit the webcams cheers josy.

Another cam right at the water

When I was watching this cam last night there was actually people right at the edge of the water sand bagging, now the waves look even worse.

I'm actually worried for anyone thats in that house/hotel surely they will have evacuated by now?

I have a lot of friends on the east coast, and they are all taking it with a grain of salt. they all think the hype is stupid.
Basically Obama is just trying to hype it up as much as possible so that if things do go wrong, he can say "well i warned you!", but it's really not that serious.

The government and the media are just trying to make sure they can't be blamed in another Katrina moment.

Are they evacuating or staying put?

The storm is still around 8/10 hours out and there is already major flooding and some damage though that seems like it's pretty serious.

All of my friends out there are staying put, and laughing at all the hype.

Oh well hopefully it is all hype then and no one gets hurt.

I'm going to keep watching/following it though, storms really interest me.

Parts of the Atlantic City Boardwalk floating down the street

I noticed the news stopped calling it "Frankenstorm" lol, i liked that name :P

We are really worried at the moment as we have family in NY and the subway is now closed and stuff boarded up?I am praying this passes without too much devastation.

You have got to love those In New York
who are Staying to see the Storm Tonight.
