It is truly the most threatening of all possible weather events….what is predicted to be barely a Category 1 storm as it quickly passes through the Tri State Area. I was particularly impressed by how Sam Champion blew up the projected tracks to show them proceeding through midtown Manhattan on either side of the Empire State Building.
Don’t you have Good Night Irene somewhere in the queue?
