There may be 33 foot waves tomorrow on the coast... of Lake Michigan... in Wisconsin!
That's not totally uncommon. Some strong storms in November can throw 30's out there as well. Rare, but they do happen just about once a fall.

Sure, but for a hurricane's impact to be felt this far from a coast...
Big Storm.

All morning and early afternoon, the winds were howling in from the northeast, as is to be expected. In the last hour or so, they've shifted to be coming from due east. That corresponds to the storm changing path off the coast of NJ to move inland. Kind of amazing to be able to notice the correspondence.
uh, oh, lights are flickering...

I think this would be loads more exciting if Regis Philbin were providing commentary.

Still have power but the lights have been flickering. Lots of wind and rain. Wind gusts have been 60+ mph so far and will probably go higher in the next few hours. Worst rain is to the south along the Jersey Shore. The big problem is going to be the storm surge in the next 2 to 4 hours. Essentially the entire south shore of Long Island will be under water. For those of you familiar with LI, that is the entire area south of Merrick Rd./Montauk Highway (Rt. 27A). Lots of small branches are down in my yard. Luckily most of the leaves have been blown off of the trees so they aren't acting like sails like they would if this was August or September. Just under 200,000 people on LI are without power right now. We still have many hours of high winds so that number could rise dramatically. A crane has collapsed on W 57th Street in NYC. It is at the 90th floor of a new condo building and hanging up above Carnegie Hall. If that falls there will be significant damage to the surrounding buildings. W. 57th is closed between 6th & 7th Avenues in Midtown. I just hope we don't lose power.

Bloomberg: "If we lose an emergency responder because of someone's idiocy or irresponsibility, that would be a true tragedy."
Best part of emergencies, the rare occasion where politicians openly call people stupid.

Strengthening here in the State College area. Power just went out for a few seconds, but where we are it's likely to go out again and perhaps for some time.
Good luck to all of us in the path of this beastie

Thanks for that clear, concise report. Here's hoping you and all of my USCHO colleagues suffer minimal inconvenience and damage. You've correctly identified storm surge as the principal cause of death from hurricanes (90% or more). These days I think most people have given up on having "hurricane parties" near the shore.
In the great Galveston hurricane, that took thousands of lives, I remember reading about the local weather bureau official taking refuge in his house with several other people. Apropos of storm surge, he told of looking out his window and seeing a railroad locomotive heading for his house!
So good luck to all. Via con Dios.

My son just got home from work. Took him a half hour to make a 5 minute drive. He said trees are down all over the place and our little 2 to 3 block area is the only one with power. Keeping my fingers crossed. My next door neighbor just had his twin oaks come down in the front yard. They missed his house and cars. He moved his cars about an hour before the trees fell which would have crushed both of them.
