FUCK JOE BIDEN Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 lots of mis-information coming from the tv stations about the coming storm...."You should secure or put away outdoor items that could become projectiles". Clearly misleading, this is a great opportunity to get rid of unwanted items. Just place them at the edge of your property and watch them disappear to another county....

ThePhotoGuy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The State of New Jersey has initiated an EMAC interstate mutual aid request for 75 ambulances to assist with EMS operations.

MGorse Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Still can't believe NHC is handing this off to local offices. Not because I don't think they can't handle it, but I don't think the public would heed high wind and flood watches the same as tropical/hurricane watches. IMHO, i think this is a real mistake. I disagree! This storm is being treated to be transitioning to a nor'easter up this far north (there has to be a line drawn somewhere). What would be worse is to have tropical related watches and warnings up here and then in the middle of the storm it goes post-tropical and all those headlines have to be dropped and replaced with non-tropical ones. This would be even more confusing! There continues to be considerable collaboration with the WFO's and NHC with even Regional HQ's involved to get everyone on the same page; including multiple state and local briefings. I think the public knows about this storm; just look at the response that started to roll before any watches were even hoisted. This was added to the 5 PM NHC discussion: FIRST A NOTE ON THE NWS WARNING STRATEGY FOR SANDY. IN ORDER TO AVOID THE RISK OF A HIGHLY DISRUPTIVE CHANGE FROM TROPICAL TO NON-TROPICAL WARNINGS WHEN SANDY BECOMES POST-TROPICAL...THE WIND HAZARD NORTH OF THE TROPICAL STORM WARNING AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONVEYED THROUGH HIGH WIND WATCHES AND WARNINGS WARNINGS ISSUED BY LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICES.

Ellinwood Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Question for you all... I'll be chasing in central/southern NJ and will be trying to acquire press passes in (at the very least) Ocean and Monmouth counties. These are usually acquired wherever the EM command center ends up being. Does anyone know where they'll be setting up, or can you direct me to a news feed that would have that information?

tombo82685 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I wonder if we see a last minute progressive trend on the models. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened. a shift to the ne to a track over LI would be a worse outcome inland wise than a center coming right over us. We would get the most intense rains. Also, their is an intense llj jet screaming at 85kts on the sw flank of this that would come over us. As you see with the nam, their looks to be an inverted trof like feature that may minimize winds.

NaoPos Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 His reaction, frankly, is extremely disheartening. It's totally irresponsible. It's a joke....absolute joke. The sting of Irene underperforming the medias hype is at play here, no doubt. I also believe the lack of tropical warnings/watches is also at play. He went from playing with money to playing with lives. Lets hope NYC dodges the gun. Lessons of natural disasters past have not been learned here. Ps: while at the driving range today,brought. Up small talk about the incoming storm.nthe desk help was like "man, this thing isn't gonna do anything. Irene was weak, and this isn't as strong as Irene"... I could only roll my eyes and just give him a "oo ok...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 There's probably a lot of pressure to keep commerce rolling. I guess without a guarantee that things are going to be really bad, it's hard to pull the trigger on extreme measures. Either that or he really IS misinformed and thinks the effects will be relegated to DE and south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
