Nor'easter Forecast Turning Grim

National Weather Service now calls storm 'significant.'

 

Hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans still reeling without power as temperatures took a decidedly colder turn the last two nights now face the prospect of a major Nor'easter striking the state Wednesday into Thursday.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for the tri-state area, and it's predictions have grown more dire in recent days.

"A significant coastal storm will likely impact the tri-state region Wednesday and Thursday," the service said Monday. "Confidence continues to increase that strong, gusty winds ... rain/wintry precipitation ... coastal flooding and additional beach erosion will result from this system."

The storm is set to strike a little more than a week after Sandy, and the prediction comes the same day a minor earthquake struck North Jersey. It could seriously affect power restoration efforts.

Jeffrey Sachs, sometimes described as the world's most famous economist, told me he thought adding half a trillion dollars on to http://www.outletcoachstoday.com the deficit without a plan http://www.coachoutletod.com was "rather shocking". He did not feel Obama's http://www.coachs-outletcar.com administration was dealing with the http://www.coachoutletdp.com fundamental problems of a deeply unequal and http://www.coachoutletwo.com under-invested economy, which had exported too http://www.coachfactoryoutletsp.com many jobs abroad."This is not http://www.coachfactoryoutletli.net a country in good shape. We have 15% http://www.coachfactoryoutletce.org of the population in poverty, we have one http://www.coachoutletonlinelc.net in six or one in seven http://www.coachoutletonlinesc.com on food stamps, we have http://www.coachoutletonlinelsa.com about half of our households within at least twice the http://www.louisvuittonoutletct.com poverty line or below, meaning http://www.louisvuittonoutletti.org that we have a staggering share http://www.coachoutletrf.com of America that is financially http://www.coachfactoryonlinebp.com struggling right now."Certainly, it is that sense http://www.coachoutletuser.net of a struggling middle class that has dogged Obama's campaign and given Romney some of his best lines.

Rather than praying for a break, let's act to put an end to climate change. We're doing this to ourselves, & we refuse to acknowledge it or to change or ways...

thanks you Kate: I agree. We need to become proactive and learn how to reduce carbon emmisions. Yes it will mean changes for most of us OR we accept Natures violent changes.

Climate change is part of the natural order. Trying to alter it is a really bad idea. We're beginning another cycle of hurricanes. These cycles are well understood. Localities should adjust their zoning and building codes appropriately.

agree the problem is that people are living in places they never did 30-50 years ago
(more shoreline development, battery park city, lake & river side....) the storms are NOT worse than they used to be and stop spouting the liberal nonsense

Chinese parents send their children http://www.coachoutletonlinebd.com/ Coach Outlet Online to private U.S. high schools as a strategic decision to strengthen their candidacy for elite U.S. universities, http://www.guccibeltsoutletstores.net/ Gucci Belt Lin said. A growing number also want their children to lead happier lives rather than have them consumed by http://www.coachoutletonlinewo.com/ Coach Factory Outlet preparing for the gaokao in China the one-time, high-stakes national university entrance examination that http://www.guccibeltsoutletstores.net/ Gucci Belts is the sole determinant of admission.The factors driving mainland Chinese to study in the United States come into http://www.coachfactoryoutletpo.com/ Coach Factory Outlet play much earlier, Lin said, noting an influx of foreign Chinese students into private U.S. secondary http://www.coachoutletonlinefc.org/ Coach Outlet Online schools, starting around 2005.The goal of education in mainland China is to prepare you to take the gaokao. http://www.coachoutletwr.com/ Coach Online Outlet Everything else is secondary.
