FrankenStorm Threatens East Coast

The forecasters are coming up with all sorts of massive names for the epic storm barreling down on the East Coast.  Some are calling it 'stormageddon', 'frankenstorm', "megastorm', and the 'perfect storm...just to name a few.

Sounds like they want us to understand something big is coming.

(CNN) -- Sandy regained hurricane strength Saturday, as weather forecasts predict it will turn into a destructive "superstorm" that will impact the Eastern Seaboard as early as Sunday.

This storm will be studied for years to come, said Louis Uccellini, who is responsible for environmental prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

 

CNN Weather estimates damage from Hurricane Sandy could reach $3.2 billion. This estimate is based only on wind damage and does not include flooding.

 

At least four states in its path, as well as the nation's capital, have declared states of emergency, and some airlines have announced they will allow passengers to change existing flights to and from Atlantic coast cities free of charge.

 

The resulting storm could sit over New England, making untold trouble for millions of residents, even dumping heavy snow in the Appalachians.

 

"Expect it to move very slowly," said James Franklin of the National Hurricane Center. "The large size of the system and its slow motion will mean a long-lasting event with two to three days of impacts."

 

The tropical storm force winds will likely spread over a vast distance, potentially up to 700 miles across, stretching from North Carolina to Maine, which could mean widespread power outages, according to CNN's Weather Unit.

 

Sandy has taken on a lopsided form, and its heaviest winds should be in the northern and eastern sections of the storm as it nears land -- and be directed inbound toward the coastline.

 

The surge is likely to hit during a full moon, when the tides are the highest, exacerbating coastal damage.

 

Computer models predict Delaware, Maryland and Virginia could see up to a foot of rainfall, according to the CNN Weather Unit. Isolated spots could see the worst rains in 500 years.

Worst rains in 500 years!!  $billions in damages!!!   Power outages for millions!!  Could even affect our nation's capital!!

Wait...how come our nation's capital has had the worst blizzard in 500 years, the worst earthquake in 500 years, the worst power outage in 500 years...and now the frankenstorm is descending on her with the worst rains in 500 years?? 

What the heck??  Did our nation do something wrong to deserve to be in this wrath-path? (yes, that rhymes)

I wonder if it has anything to do with Team Obama turning their back on Israel?
