The Lows are converging now. Numerous wind, surf, flood, and marine advisories in effect. This looks to be verifying.

For the conditions, consider it to be like a Cat One Hurricane. Fears that that it and the surge will pass over New York City at high tide. Looks to be every bit as dangerous as "The Perfect Storm" or the "Storm of the Century". Flooding is a real concern for New York, including Long Island. Pressure is at 968 MB and falling.

One email I got from a resident in New York said "This is not funny any more, and it's not even here yet."

One storm tracking in this system is moving at a whopping 105 miles per hour.

Wait till the tropics spin up... Gary and I pretty much offer "wall to wall" coverage of those.

Pastor Gary

During Hurricane Ivan in mid September 2004, our combined postings totaled around 160 advisories and updates in a main forum for the Gulf Coast, at that time, with over 4600 hits in less than 5 days.

But that is what we do. Our combined efforts have been slightly more accurate than the NWS and NOAA for specific areas because we concentrate on a smaller geographical area once the tracks of these storms are fairly well defined. Our computer modeling is as accurate as any in the industry and we post UNOFFICIAL information frequently to try to keep those in harms way safe.
