If you thought Hurricane Irene was a big scare – think again.
On Tuesday, I started to read headlines about Hurricane Sandy’s potential target of the East Coast.
 

This storm is pretty serious
We are in the late stages of Hurricane season as per to the National Hurricane Center. We also are dealing with a coldfront thats to the north (near Canada) and this storm that is coming from the South, is going to be very interesting. Even the experts and computer models are thrown off guard.
The Full Moon is making this even worse, because of ocean tides. I don’t want to say this is “The Perfect Storm” because that storm exactly 21 years ago on Wednesday, only effected the New England Coast. This storm is going to impact the ENTIRE Northeast!
I was just 4.5 years old when Hurricane Bob hit New England, and “The Perfect Storm” exactly 21 years to the day (it hit on October 31st, 1991.) I vaguely remember Bertha in 1996 and witnessed Irene as a very windy and rainy event. The New York City metro and Tristate area is going to be the direct impact if the storm hits the Jersey Shore. If it hits where the Snooki, J-Wow, and Pauly and the other characters of that neighborhood, the entire Northeast will be severely impacted. I am no weatherman, but Lower Manhattan would be a concern, it’d be safe to say that Upstate New York may get flooding (or if this storm is near that Arctic front, they might get snow), Northern New England for floods and wind.
I probably would have to say, the entire Eastern seaboard would get some big impacts. They are predicting erosion, and if you have a house right on the ocean view, I would be very scared if your house may get eaten by this Sandy monster. They are predicting several foot waves
Expect long term power outages (the longest for me was 4 days between a February 2010 windstorm and last years Snotober event) and just dangerous winds.
As I technically halted this blog, I am only returning to blog on this event, because it scares the hell out of me. I know we aren’t invincible to these storms (or any disasters) and I had a gut feeling that this was going to be serious. I am scared of what is going to happen.The storm isn’t going to hit my area till Monday afternoon, but I fear the mayhem, the stressors, and everything else I should be accustomed to since I have gone through many disasters in the last few years.
Stay tuned, and if you are a follower and you are in the direct impact, please join in to this story.
