Hurricane Sandy OBS

Someone asked about the flooding map. Here is the zone map again. It's clear that many Zone B places are flooding. Probably Zone C places, too. I don't think that should be a surprise to anyone on this forum, since we knew the potential, but Bloomberg should absolutely take a tremendous amount of flak for this.

11pm it should start to back off, roughly another 3 hrs, storm wear starts to set in as the duration begins to take a toll on ones psyche, can't account for that, this is the worst of it, good 5 hr period from 6-11 for N NJ/NYC/LI.

New banding starting to light up south of central LI, east of NJ, could be into the City proper in about an hour, loop OKX, blossoming...

There is no question SE CT and Suffolk have markedly dropped the last 30 minutes...Groton and Shirley both near 40 knots....hopefully this is the start of the winds slowing from east to west. Even Islip now has been near 50-55 knots as opposed to 65-70 as they once were.
