Re: Frankenstorm
i dunno. i live in forest hills gardens and am serviced by RCN, not time warner. my internet has been fine and my power has been steady.
when i was at work earlier, all cumc buildings have backups and my lab was fine.
the drive home across the triboro (i refuse to use the new name) was ok...the only place that sucked was the portion of the grand central that usually floods near forest hills but otherwise, it was not bad.
my point is...outside of "zone a" in nyc...its just windy and not that bad. people are overreacting in THIS city.

Folks in New York and New Jersey are getting it far worse than I am in CT. I hope everyone is safe and sound.

Re: Frankenstorm
Was watching the News. And they mentioned this is the biggest storm to hit New York.... And this storm is something like 700 miles long. Incredible. I don't recall a massive hurricane/storm like this in late October. Originally Posted by maxpower

They’re born, as they always have been, when a tropical wave launches off the African coast and heads out into the open ocean. But when that ocean is hot—and at the moment sea surface temperatures off the Northeast are five degrees higher than normal—a storm like Sandy can lurch north longer and stronger, drawing huge quantities of moisture into its clouds, and then dumping them ashore."
Noam Chomsky has some interesting insights about global warming.
