I currently rent an apartment...on the second floor - no worries on my end.

The place we are purchasing in SNH should be OK through this...

That said, I want the worst possible scenario. :whistle:

Reasonable, that would be my position if I had no personal stake, been there before LOL. Enjoy should be a great rodeo.

We are still 100+ hours out or so from any potential landfall. Alot can and usually does with these systems. I'm not buying the drastic pull into lower Jersey. A gradual turn is more likely. I think the ridge would have to give a little and let the storm go further north before whipping west into LI/SNE. The Euro has been great at long range set-ups but recent history points more towards the GFS as we get closer to landfall. GFS shows the LI/NYC landfall.

I was just thinking the same thing - yes the GFS was late to the party but maybe it's track in the end is correct?

With any storm threatening up the coast I would rather have the storm be further West and South on the modeling at this stage in the game. Granted this scenario is probably unlike any other, so the evolution may play out differently. But it seems as though ever tropical/tropical based storm always tend to perform more East once they get up to these parts. Plus a general rule of thumb is being in the cross hairs now most likely means you won't be when it comes to game time...

Positive spin of a true weenie, I'll admit.

I was actually reading Bastardi's twitter feed. An interesting idea came up. What if this storm has some effects on election day (November 6th)?

Well, I could imagine power outages in certain areas lasting a week. That would be fun with all the back and forth. Get the lawyers ready!!
