Where is Sandy?! I had been tracking the storm on these two sites:

But the first stopped updating at 11PM and the second at midnight. The storm center icon has, therefore, been sitting about 25 miles from my house, with my house directly in the projected path. WTF? They all just went to bed?

We have been up all night wondering when we need to go down into the basement. We have power, thank goodness, but are expecting to lose it when the storm comes through.

Neither the local nor the national news, nor the weather channel have been telling us specifically where the center of the storm is. Don't know whether it's safe to just go to bed upstairs as usual or what.

Does anyone have a source?

Edit: 8:45am. Finally, weather.com updated at 5am, but, even though I've been refreshing my browser, it only just showed the change.

The storm center is just Northwest of Harrisburg, where my parents live. Heading next to Buffalo, where my sister lives.

Sorry about my crankiness, this has been a nerve-wracking night. We've been very lucky, so far. None of the 25 or so 100ft+ trees surrounding our house has fallen, though I suppose the danger has not completely passed.

And, I'm still worried about my family members and everyone else still in the path. Stay safe, all.

8. Thanks, but honestly, with all the markings, I can't tell where the center of the storm is. Is it

still in Pennsylvania? It looks to me to be in the same spot it was at 11pm.

This is crazy. Why isn't every news channel and site telling us exactly where the epicenter is?

9. Try this and see if it has what you need, hope it helps.

5. The latest timestamp there on the epicenter is 3am, but it shows it still in the 11pm position. Is

the storm just hanging in that same spot? I'm no weatherperson, but that seems unlikely to me.

Thanks anyway for the link.

7. I am concerned about the slow movement and the rain in PA

since there has already been a landslide alert issued for south of Philly. Look how long it will be in PA, not covering much real estate. Yikes.

10. This is very confusing. The weather people can't stop talking about Sandy, but they just will not

talk about where the center of the storm is. Plenty of pictures of rain, though. Yeah, I get it. It's raining here too!

I am mystified. There must be millions of people who want to know. I just don't get it! Where is the damn storm centered???!!

(Sorry, obviously not yelling at you.)

12. Here is a great water vapor view...so huge still!

13. Quit worrying about where the center is!

The accuweather site does show it, but the point here is that the storm is slowly, slowly heading northwest through Pennsylvania and then up towards Rochester, NY and then north towards Ottawa.

It is no longer a hurricane and also no longer a tropical storm and is instead a "superstorm" or post-tropical storm and its weather system is affecting nearly the entire US east of the Mississippi with snow and wind and rain.
