Too early to tell whether it will affect them directly or not. However, this will affect the whole East coast from Miami, FL to upstate in Maine. Sandy is a large storm and only growing. It will be an interesting weekend as we all monitor this storm. Feel sorry for the kiddos this Halloween as there might not be one as possibly millions will be without power for days if not weeks -- if models hold up right now on Sandy's path.ticka1 wrote:will it affect washinton dc and new york city?

It looks like it will make landfall here in the next 10 minutes or so. I doubt it. But you never know... Eye looks impressive.Ptarmigan wrote:I think Sandy has a good chance at being a major hurricane soon.
It is going to be a real mess. Forecast model has Sandy much larger than Irene. Perhaps, Sandy could Super Typhoon Tip sized..........................Belmer wrote:Looks like Sandy has made her second landfall of the day in Southeastern Cuba. To be more precise, looks like Santiago de Cuba.
In my opinion, this should ramp up pretty quickly once it passes over Cuba into the Bahamas.
Heaven help the New England states if GFS/Euro verify. It's not like they saw Irene just over a year ago or anything...
