and this one right here is sandy. okay? so that's where sandy made landfall in new jersey.oking a little more like floyd from 1999. there is fran, also similar to that, this one here, this heavy blue line, that's isabel. so just comparing this one to ones that we remember so well from the past, still going to probably change this projected path, before it actually get here. because we've got all of these different mechanisms that steering this storm. we have this low pressure system in the jet stream, out to the west of the storm. so that's keeping it from making landfall sooner, and then we have a high that's kind of trying to block it from moving further out to sea, we'll see which weather system wins out, by the time it gets here, but this is a category three storm, very powerful, with 120-mile per hour winds. we expect it to strengthen even more in the bahamas, cause a lot of destruction there, before it turns northward, and then we watch it even more leslie than we are right now. we see it weakening, as it moves into cooler waters. and by the weekend, and maybe even be

that's what sandy did. sandy was a major hurricane south of where it made landfall.n ran up the east coast and turned left right toward atlantic city. this now, i believe this is a category 4 hurricane. i can find the eye right there. it's very small. the pressure's down to what we call 938 milibars. we know that because an airplane is flying through it. i wouldn't want to be on this airplane. don't know how the men and women do it. that is a bumpy ride, for sure. it's going to go to 140 later on today or tomorrow anyway. i think it's probably already there at this point. it turns to the right. it turns to the north. it misses florida. how far away from the coast will it be if it turns to the left back towards the u.s.? this is where the sandy scenario comes from. i want you to understand the distance for the possibility from all the way to the left into west virginia and dying as a rain-maker out halfway to bermuda. that's the air in the model right now. there are many models. we thought they would get better overnight. they almost spread out. it looks like confetti
