FRANKENSTORM Could Be The Worst Northeast Storm In 100 Years

Hurricane Sandy could merge with a second storm out of the midwest to become the worst Northeast storm in 100 years, described as a Frankenstorm.

National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Kocin tells Bloomberg: “What we’re seeing in some of our models is a storm at an intensity that we have not seen in this part of the country in the past century ... We’re not trying to hype it, this is what we’re seeing in some of our models. It may come in weaker.”

New York City Mayor Bloomberg has told residents in flood-prone areas to be prepared to evacuate before the storm hits around Tuesday of next week.
