On a serious note - I was thinking of their outdoor set in Brooklyn and the impact of Sandy...

Tonight at 8pm will be high tide, and when the storm actually hits land. Hate to see the flooding then.

It hurts to look at it.

I pray everyone is safe, the power comes back on soon, and the water drains quickly.

you can select individual buoys and look at the data being transmitted. Some buoys have measured wave heights of up to 29ft in 4,900+ feet of water significantly off shore in terms of miles.

That's a lot of water being moved by the wind and it's all headed into the shorelines

Buoy 41001

150NM East of Cape Hatters

Water Depth 4462'

at 0950 AM wave height 33.1 feet
