NOAA has just reclassified the storm from a hurricane to a "superstorm" based on the temperatures, airflow, and the track.  Winds being sustained at 80+ Cape May.  Record low altimeter readings at KDOV (Dover AFB).  The tide is still 1.5 feet from its high mark at 10:00pm tonight.

Those of you on the eastern seaboard, take care.  This is unprecedented.

It doesn't appear that the winds ever really developed. No doubt there will be tons of rain. The coastal areas will be fine. It's inland that will suffer the flooding

Really?? I just  clocked 61 mph in the front of my house.

Where you checking in from...Iowa?  ;)

Winds here in Southern NJ are really gusting, expected to be 40-60 mph til 6 am tomorrow.  Our coastal areas are getting smashed with storms surges and with high tide to come soon, the worst is yet to come.

Sandy made landfall at 7:59pm ET, approximately 5 miles south of Atlantic City.

Be safe, east coasters.

Yes, as a result of superior blue state policies, few, if any, Concord citizens will have to endure 95% humidity or 100 degree shelters. Praise something.

Be safe, all.

Pressure at Philly Airport (KPHL):  

Altimeter 28.17"Hg 
Sea Level Pressure 954mb

   I think this is one of the lowest ever in the USA, and is the lowest ever in Pennsylvania.

I have checked every airport on the NJ Coast and NYC. Right now La Guardia is showing 50. Highest gust was 71. 50 aint 80. The wind has been overstated. They almost always do that. Meteorologists live for weather events

Gotta find some humor here.... Sarge Cullum reminds me of an old D.I. Sarge, who might say; "Hell, that arm ain't broken, just rub some dirt on it".  In this instance, it sounds like; "hell son, that ain't no hurry-a-cane, that water ain't deep an that wind ain't blowin hard, just take a deep breath and hold it a minute..."   ::) ;D :o

The eye passed near here. Overall, I was expecting much worse in my area. Hopefully the back side of the storm wont be too bad.

Looks like NYC is having a tough go of it.

Who cares how you classify it?  

This is the first time in my lifetime that New York City has flooded.  What you're not hearing about is the hundreds of miles of coast line that are suffering the same fate, many of them in highly populated areas.  

On a personal level for many, many people, this is going to be devastating.
