'Frankenstorm' Looking More Ominous for East Coast

[News]

Some have compared the tempest to the so-called Perfect Storm.

This NOAA satellite image taken Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, provided by the National Hurricane Center shows a Category 2 Hurricane Sandy moving northward across eastern Cuba. All the spare parts appear to be coming together to create what forecasters are calling "Frankenstorm," a monster combination of high wind, heavy rain, extreme tides and maybe snow that could cause havoc along the East Coast just before Halloween next week.

Somebody out there is just loving the fact that the term "Frankenstorm" has taken off this way.

I'm sincerely concerned, after Lee hit - and that was just flooding, no wind, places around here with without power for 3-7 weeks. This is wind and flooding.. and possibly snow. The forecast was for 57F as the high, it hasn't risen above 45 all day. They're sand bagging the whole goddamn town, Lee was the worst flood that hit since records began to be kept in 1835.
