We in the north east are about to experience our first catastrophic storm. At least that is what the weather and news people keep saying. They say we could have power outages for weeks at a time due to the high winds and flooding. They say this particular storm pattern has never happened before. It has something to do with the way the jet stream is positioned as this huge storm hits land at or about NYC and NJ. The coast line will get the storm surge but they say the rain will be extreme and last for at least 2 days with 60 mile an hour winds.
Everyone is hoping that this is just another weather over estimation but it looks like everything is happening just as they predicted.
I'm not good at roughing it anymore. If the electric goes out I guess I can deal with it but it is going to be cold and most people do not have alternate heat sources. Being that I live in the woods I am hoping the trees all stay put. Say a prayer for PA and NY tonight. |
