East Coast Braces for "Frankenstorm"

So what does it mean to have lowest air pressure?

 

the lower the pressure the stronger the storm is.

 

Nope, I'm in Brooklyn now, northwest by the river and all that.

 

If you inhale, you get the bends and immediately die.

 

Oh, gotcha! Looks like the landfall time has been pushed to 5-6pm instead of 9pm. I think it is a good thing because it's not hitting during high tide, right?

 

You don't **** yourself first?

 

that's perfect - you have something to do then while you are riding the storm out.

Good luck!

 

Damn, nice. I might be moving towards there in the next year or two.

 

I'm in Baltimore right now and the wind is getting stronger by the hour. I hope the trees don't fall on the apartment.

 

For those of you saying that Ike was worse consider that Ike didn't have the possibility of snow with it. What makes Sandy a Frankenstorm is that it is combining with an early winter system and could bring a lot of snow and freezing temperatures inland. While losing your AC sucks try riding out a snowstorm with hurricane force winds possibly without power and heat.

 

Unless you can go sit by a fire. In houston you have a 100 degree weather + 100% humidity.

 

I'd take no power with cold than no power with 100 degree heat, 100% humidity and mosquito's 10 times out of 10. Give me some Bourbon and a blanket and I'd be fine.

 

I'd take HeyPartner's power at anytime...

 

That happens almost every year up there though with their Nor'Easters.

 

These winds are making the house shake.

 

looks fun. but probably not safe
