Hurricane Sandy is EXPECTED TO BRING LIFE-THREATENING STORM SURGE FLOODING TO THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST...
INCLUDING LONG ISLAND SOUND AND NEW YORK HARBOR... ...WILL BRING COASTAL HURRICANE WINDS AND HEAVY APPALACHIAN SNOWS... http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+shtml/282350.shtml
My family and I have been watching closely to see if this storm will be bringing heavy winds, rain or snow our way.We were fortunate during the summer to not be without power for weeks at a time but many of our friends and family were not.
Are you prepared for a national disaster to occur? Do not wait until it is too late to be prepared. The first things off the shelf in a storm and outage are water, generators, candles, batteries, toilet paper, paper towels, cooler and ice.
The last storm was right in the middle of the hottest part of summer. People were out of power for weeks. They lost all their food in the freezers and refrigerators. They didn't have a generator to run a fan or window air conditioner and could not find ice anywhere to keep a cooler full of food and drinks. Many could not even go to work because their place of business was without power. They lost pay which they could not afford to do.
Do you have a back up plan in place?
Did you know you could work a business online, part time, from home? You can start this now and as it grows, it will be the cushion you need when you are not earning a pay check. Being prepared has everything to do with being able to survive financially and physically. Buy these items now and build your savings account today. You can buy these items before they are in high demand. that are in high demand. I suggest you buy books on survival. It will really help you to realize how "not" prepared you are. Time and time again we hear the stories of what can happen, but we get caught up in the daily grind and forget to get things done. Don't wait. Start today...Let me show you how.The Weather Channel tone turns ominous for hurricane, its collision course with other systems
NEW YORK – The Weather Channel had its third straight day of a round-the-clock vigil for the approaching superstorm, and the tone of its meteorologists turned more ominous Sunday with evidence building that their forecasts would come true.
The network is planning to live-stream its television coverage online so people in the eastern United States who lose power can keep up with the news on their mobile devices. The storm is expected to affect some 50 million people.
"We want you to know we are not hyping this storm, OK?" on-air meteorologist Vivian Brown said. "We don't do that at The Weather Channel because we want you to be alert and aware."
Other television networks mixed news of Hurricane Sandy with stories like the presidential campaign. In New York, the local CBS outlet ran a split screen with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie delivering a storm briefing Sunday afternoon and the New York Jets' game against the Miami Dolphins.
But Hurricane Sandy, which is mixing with other weather systems to create a storm of unprecedented strength in the region, kept the undivided attention of The Weather Channel.
The network's Julie Martin, stationed on a beach in Nags Head, N.C., looked increasingly weary of the wind and rain as she described the storm's staying power in a series of live reports.
Meteorologist Jim Cantore, the network's most visible personality, said it was unlike anything he'd ever seen or covered. He had to take a brief break from his live reports from New York's Battery Park City to move his belongings because his hotel had been evacuated; his publicist's apartment was also in the evacuation zone.
Bryan Norcross, the network's senior hurricane specialist, explained in an interview that the network tries to keep its tone serious yet urgent. The network's computer models have been consistent in their forecasts of the storm and it has been acting as anticipated, perhaps with even more strength.
"Our goal has been to get people to appreciate the magnitude of the storm and try to prove to them that, based on everything we know, that this is going to be a system that is outside of their experience," Norcross said.
The Weather Channel sent a message via Twitter calling it "an extraordinary storm, an extremely serious threat" and urged followers to re-tweet it. The storm "will occupy a place in the annals of weather history as one of the most extraordinary to have affected the United States," the network tweeted.
Quickly, the Business Insider tweeted: "WHOA. The Weather Channel meteorologist just completely freaked out."
Twitter filled with messages of concern for people in its path, as well as a few oddities. Comic Ricky Gervais made an unprintable suggestion as a joke, while media mogul Rupert Murdoch tweeted: "Eerie feeling, but kids getting ready to celebrate no school."
ABC News posted a blog of storm-related news, while another Twitter message contained links to live webcams where computer users could track the storm's progress.
Cosmopolitan magazine tweeted advice for "how to cut your bangs at home (because if you're going to be house-bound for Sandy, why not?)." ''Sesame Street" offered a hurricane toolkit to help children understand what's going on.
Judging by The Weather Channel, there were also people who saw a business opportunity. There were frequent commercials from companies that make generators for people to keep electricity going in their homes if the power lines go down.
Partly to underline the seriousness of the situation, The Weather Channel has refrained from using the "Frankenstorm" nickname coined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration last week when the storm was a model on its computer forecasts.
"Being cute about this storm is not the right idea," Norcross said.
