HURRICANE SANDY Unofficial Advisory Wednesday, October 24, 5PM EDT

HURRICANE SANDY Unofficial Advisory Wed., October 24, 5 PM EDT.

As we mentioned in post number one, Named Storm Sandy has the potential to become more than just a nuisance. Many international tracking models including our own, are now showing a much more westerly potential, since a high pressure area off the central US coast will be blocking it’s northeasterly travel and will be moving the storm closer to the east coast of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas over the next 2 to 5 days.

Because of the potential threat to many areas along the entire east coast of the United States, we are recommending that all persons from southern Florida to Maine monitor this storm carefully starting immediately. Persons may expect significant wave action, beach errosion, heavy rains, flooding in low coastal areas, power outages and possible tornadoes in the outer feeder bands.

The tracking models are changing hourly and this unofficial advisory is being offered as a precaution.
