Hurricane Sandy May Push Record Storm Surge Into Manhattan - Bloomberg

Hurricane Sandy may push a life- threatening wall of water onto the Northeastern U.S., setting a record storm surge in Manhattan while whipping the region with high winds and rain.
The expected surge at New York’s Battery Park will be 11.7 feet (3.5 meters) at 8:30 p.m. today, more than 2 feet higher than the water Hurricane Irene sent onto the shore last year and higher than the 10.02-foot record set September 1960 by Hurricane Donna, according to Sean Potter, a National Weather Service spokesman in Upton, New York.
“That is assuming that it does occur with the high tide,” Potter said yesterday by telephone.


Irene ]caused flooding in the Battery, at the southern tip of Manhattan, when it struck in August 2011. Normal high tides generally just top 5 feet, according to data from the U.S. Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service. Flood stage is 6.7 feet.

“It couldn’t be a worse scenario with the storm coming around with a full moon,” said Mark Hoekzema, chief meteorologist at Earth Networks in Germantown, Maryland. “The full moon with the high tides are going to add another 1 to 2 feet and then there is wave action on top of that.”

The system may also leave 3 feet of snow in the Appalachians, the weather

service said.


Waves as high as 32.5 feet were reported from buoys off Cape Hatteras,Cape Hatteras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia said the National Data Buoy Center at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.

The hurricane center predicts as much as 3 feet of snow may fall in West Virginia and as much as 2 feet in the mountains of Virginia to Kentucky. As much as 12 to 18 inches may fall in the Appalachians in North Carolina and Tennessee.
The hurricane center’s five-day outlook shows the system turning north over Pennsylvania at tropical-storm strength before weakening as it crosses into New York State, over Lake Ontario and into Canada.
As it passes, temperatures will drop in interior parts of West Virginia and the Appalachians to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 7 Celsius) and in the 30s and 40s throughout much of the rest of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, which could lead to problems for people without power, Knabb said.
