Superstorm Sandy

Ok so unless you live under a rock you have probably heard about the giant killer storm engulfing the entire east coast. They are calling it a super storm and the media is in a frenzy like it's an alien invasion. So my questions are first is this really some great super storm like the world has never seen?? And if so are these new super storms here to stay?? I don't really know "weather" to believe the media or not since they sensationalize everything.

God damnit auto correct messed up the thread title can a mod fix that??

It's something like the tides are super high, the winds are just right and the planets aligned just so, so that the storm gained super powers and became alive. So no, I think this is the only sci-fi storm we'll see until December.

It was just very big is all. By blending with winter storm, it acquired some serious size without losing strength. the hi tides made it worse.

Similar thing happened in 1991. They made a movie about it.

I watched TV. We had some flooding problems over the ocean, but that s+++ was BAAAAAD! I'm so sorry for Bounty, the city and all lives lost. Hope you bullies who were in it made it through in one piece and with as little property damage as possible and that some proper normality will be restored as fast as possible without too much looting and consequences that go with it.

Keep us posted!

(I mean god damn! First they hit you with planes, now they sent the whole storm on you. Whatever that HARP is doing it's ineffective. ---I have to put some bullworth in this :staredad:)

My mom lives in NYC, i just talked to her.
She laughed and said it was no big deal, nothing at all like the stuff i grew up with.
There's still leaves on the trees on their street, etc.
Other people more exposed and near the coast did not fare so well, my condolences to them.

When a Cat 1 huricaine comes to visit my area, we don't even board up the windows, stock up on water, or even buy extra can's of tuna. But we are used to huricaines around here. In my opinion the reason it's bad up there is because, one they are not prepared for huricaines, and two all of the press agencies are based in New York. So they assume that the rest of the world cares about them.

On the flip side, we had snow flurries here about two years ago and we shut down the city and closed down the schools. That's right, I said flurries. No, the "snow" didn't even stick to the ground.

You should see me driving to work through 2 meters of fresh snow. Not properly cleared. But it was fine. When I went off the road I stopped in it with car unharmed. My precious clio got all busted up when there was no snow, only ice...

It wasn't bad they said... WE LOST BOUNTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't a big deal, some flooding and some power loss but overall this was far worse http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_...erican_derecho

Hahahahahahaha so now Iran is claiming responsibility for Sandy, they are claiming to have secret weather control systems. This is almost as retarded as when they started training female ninjas.
