Logan11 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Someone posted a coastal flood map of metro NYC yesterday and it looks like much of the Financial District would be inundated and the South Street Seaport area obviously. Plus large parts of southern Brooklyn and southern Queens. Nevermind the situation in sound facing areas. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 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. Wow, this could be horrendous. I really hope people heed warning and stay off the streets of Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The pressure gradiant, a 1030mb +/- building High to the NE and deeping Sandy. Oh-oh Anybody who is talking downplay at this stage, just doesn't know. No hype needed, the maps portray a million stories. A relentless pounding! Will be interesting to see where the highest recorded gust will occur? I'm thinking Blue Hills, Nantucket or some S facing community on LI from one of these feeder bands. The highest gust ever recorded here was 57mph during Noel. Taking this oportunity to wish everyone safety and heed all warnings. Most assured power will be gone for most.

powderfreak Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Here's an interesting Idea that may help the interior avoid some awful gusts...BTV was mentioning that after sundown on Monday we could start to see the usual diurnal inversion try to set up in the 1000-1500ft range, causing winds at the surface to slow while a hurricane roars overhead from 1,500-2000ft+. Now we have deeper, more protected valleys in the big mountain areas, but it may help save some in SNE if you are in a lower elevation but outside the coastal plain.

hooralph Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm on very high ground. No worries here (but for wind and outages). But a major subway disruption (lasting beyond the storm) will make our lives hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wow, this could be horrendous. I really hope people heed warning and stay off the streets of Manhattan. The storm really could be devastating here-the subways, LaGuardia and Kennedy Airports, as well as huge swaths of Brooklyn and Queens are just above sea level and would be inundated. I could see it being worse than Dec 1992 because of the crazy fetch and size of the storm, and the intensity. In Dec 1992 some of the subways flooded and if they do so again, parts of the city would be shut down for weeks. And that's before taking care of any structural damage/tree damage from the winds, which will likely gust here up to 85-90 mph. Already a stiff breeze outside this morning.

BowMeHunter Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I only have a few and sent my wife out yesterday to get some supplies while I did leaves..She came home with 0.0 batteries Hit the wife's, B.O.B stash? Should be good for some DD's Stay safe, y'all.. Hard to believe back to back dream come true end of Octobers for Tolland.

MJO812 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Bloomberg rolls the dice. Bad move unfortunately. He is going to have a press conference this afternoon to see if there will be school tomorrow and also to see if the trains and buses will be running. Better make the right decision.

Cold Miser Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 why bother with leaves--everyone else's will be blown back in your yard....haha. I'm hoping mine all blow in to the woods behind my house-the wind direction is right.... This. Out of all of the things Dr. Doom could have been doing, he chose to rake leaves.

CoastalWx Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Scooter. Where was Euro Ens cluster? Same as 12z? Yeah same as 12z, but ensembles don't mean that much so close. Time for deterministic models. I think my central maybe even srn NJ target still looks good. I suppose NYC track could happen, but I wouldn't be shocked at a tick south today.
