[NSRCA-discussion] Hurricane Sandy and our flying friends

[Dave Lockhart]

While only a Cat 1, the sheer size of Sandy prolonged the duration of the high winds and greatly widened the typical width of impact.  The track was directly at the shoreline which increased the amount on onshore winds causing bigger waves and bigger storm surge that would typically be generated by a Cat 1.  And….the storm made landfall just about high tide with core very intact.  Much of the Jersey Shore is lined with barrier islands, and most of them will never be the same again.

Wow.  Down on the Emerald Coast, a Cat 1 doesn't even warrant a trip to the liquor store. 

 

Glad to hear you're all OK.

Hi All,

The storm surge, flooding, and heavy distruction seen on TV is primarily the barrier islands and immediate Jersey shore area.

I'm abut 14 miles inland from Atlantic City on mainland. Were OK here. Had heavy wind for many hours. My neighborhood

has lots of trees, but no big ones came down on my block.  Will get out today and seem more of local area.  We were out of electric, cable, phone, and most cell ph service for two days.  My Honda 1000 handled fridge, and TV till cable went out.

Power came back here last night.  I expect to find a number of large trees down -

 

Dave is about 50 miles toward Phily from here.  His place is likewise OK, but no power as of last night.  

 

Thanks,  Ron Lockhart

Here's hoping all our flying friends and families on the East Coast in the path of Hurricane Sandy remain safe and sound thru the storm.  Wishing you all the best of luck, stay safe.  News coverage is amazing and the details are quite frightening.

Best of luck
Don Atwood
