Scott Ryan Will anyone could anyone give me there best guess as far as real water rise, thats surge with astro and wave action taken into account, I have thought somewhere around 10 ft possibly higher.

Thanks! I don't have knowledge of that area, only forecasts from NWS, but the setup first piles water in from east, then SE winds will push it onto shore during evening.

CoastalWx Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 yeah they are in trouble. What do you think of the NAM vs GFS windfield? The orientation is quite different. I could see the NAM if the low center becomes more elongated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I also want to thank all for the analysis from the Mets, the Well informed, The Alarmist, and amateurs; a lot of good info over the last 7 days and it is almost game time. I will be out working during the storm, and will try and report what I see across CT; all others be safe and enjoy this historic event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 See nws now saying 5-10 feet of surge on top of astro tides Monday night into Tuesday morning plus wave action. lol oh boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Several folks here had flights cancelled today but thankfully not mine so far. Looks like things pretty much shut down aviation wise later today. I'm scheduled wheels up in about 3 and 1/2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 for where/when? already getting breezy here. Just looking at the surface wind profile. Well it's perhaps more that the NAM has a focal point along the WF and the GFS is perhaps a little closer to the center. However, that may be the NAM just being stronger with winds.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 How about NYC proper? The mayor seems to be saying they'll be okay but what about flooding in the city proper?

Winds already randomly rattling windows here. What a storm. Hopefully FEMA is ready in jersey, ny Bloomberg seems to be so out of touch in situations like this. If this hits NJ at around 0z or slightly after when it's high tide and the SE winds are piling water into NY Harbor, a lot of people are going to be screwed. Really hoping this slows down some so at least this can hit at low tide. Terrible situation about to unfold here and it seems a lot of people aren't taking it that seriously.

Winds already randomly rattling windows here. What a storm. Hopefully FEMA is ready in jersey, ny I wish the souls in NY good luck. It's a given that many deaths are coming. I can't believe the Mayor or NY is this arrogant. I live 10 miles from St. Louis, MO and it makes me so sick I couldn't sleep. The mayor is a joke and when a few hundred dead bodies(pray if you are religious that it doesn't happen) pile up on him, he will be done. this mean woman is already down to 951MB! Wake up Bloomberg.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Does anyone know any details (or have a link) about this Columbia University study the media outlets are referencing? The study claimed a storm surge 1' higher than Irene would paralyze Manhattan and inundate the NYC subways. Sounds like the surge from Sandy will be a lot higher than that...

Logan11 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Another calm mild morning up here in Lincoln, NH. Quite a few clouds today after yesterday's mostly sunny and 60+. Heading back down to near ALB later on, but we look to be more fringed this time, unlike Irene. Already getting breezy out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackwaves Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 If I had to place a bet, I'd say the highest wind gusts will be from Nantucket MA and north. Blue Hills FTW? I'll be taking video while my whale-watch boat rides it out in Nantucket Harbor. I'm guessing a few 74mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give you an idea, the entrance to the Ferry subway station located at The Battery/Staten Island Ferry Terminal is 7' ASL. Wouldn't take much, unfortunately.
