I'm not getting it...

Submitted by weebles on Wed, 10/31/2012 - 13:42.

The only images I can find anywhere are of mild flooding and a tree down here or there. The area where several buildings burnt down looks bad.

Other than that I see no devastation and destruction unique to hurricanes. For example, after Katrina on the Mississippi gulf coast entire neighborhoods of multi-story mansions were just -- gone. Maybe a foundation pole left sticking up among rolling dunes of splintered materials. Automobiles 30ft up in trees.

I'm not getting it. This was just some flooding and a few trees down.

The hurricane that was... a few hundred miles south.

Sandy continues to merge with what was once two cold weather systems already dumping snow in West Virginia, forming what the hurricane center calls post-tropical...

The storm lost its status as hurricane because it no longer has a warm core center nor the convection — the upwards air movement in the eye — that traditional hurricanes have... It tipped into the post-tropical category because it has become “devoid of thunderstorms near the center,” said Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the NHC.

News left the actual facts of the storm & gone to ranting abut the flood below sea level as if it super-natural. Franken-storm? Super Storm?

the coasts of Mississippi, Alabama or the Florida panhandle and caused the same amount of "destruction" the locals would have sighed in relief and said, "Rather mild hurricane. Mostly flooding and tree damage.". :p

Let us come to terms.

Definition of HURRICANE Merriam-Webster's Dictionary.

: a tropical cyclone with winds of 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour or greater that occurs especially in the western Atlantic, that is usually accompanied by rain, thunder, and lightning, and that sometimes moves into temperate latitudes — see Beaufort scale table

_____

HUR'RICANE, n. [L. furio, furo, to rage.] Webster's Dictionary, 1828.

1. A most violent storm of wind, occurring often in the West Indies,and sometimes in higher northern latitudes, and on the coast of the United States, as far north as New England. A hurricane is distinguished from every other kind of tempest by the extreme violence of the wind, and by its sudden changes; the wind often veering suddenly several points, sometimes a quarter of the circle and even more.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the BOW
shall be seen in the cloud:
And I shall remember my covenant which is between me and you and every
living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to
destroy all flesh.

Gen. 9:14-15

Don't be so down, the up side

Don't be so down, the up side to this is that there will be a ton of well paying jobs available rebuilding in the Northeast.

blood donations

Submitted by garnet on Tue, 10/30/2012 - 09:10.

They're saying that blood donations will be in short supply on the east coast. I have common type that almost anyone can use and my daughter has a rare type that in always in demand. We will be donating blood today and earmarking it for use there. I hope everyone is well and are riding out this storm safely.
