Default Frankenstorm

Hurricane Sandy is pounding in the waters outside central FL currently. In Brevard County and Cocoa Beach they are seeing winds upwards near 105 mph, 12-18 foot waves, and rain. Schools are closed today and the beaches are closed for driving. Inland we are having wind up to 30 mph and some rain.

Sandy knocked out power and flooded the Bahamas and Jamaica and left 22 dead in the Caribbeans. Thursday it weakened to a 1 and hit up Cuba killing people there.

The storm is predicted to weaken from hurricane status and hit Jersey on Tuesday with a "90 percent chance that most of the U.S. East Coast would get steady gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe snow starting Sunday and stretching past Wednesday" U.S. forecaster Jim Cisco said.

It is forecast to make landfall sometime before dawn Tuesday between northern North Carolina and southern New England. It all depends what it decides to do on Sunday.

This perfect storm is widespread and serious. It is predicted for at least 1 billion in damage and possibly affecting PA and NY also and reaching as far west as Ohio.
