NEW JERSEY IS ABOUT TO GET HIT BY THE STRONGEST STORM IN RECORDED HISTORY FOR NEW JERSEY, AND ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE STORMS IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES!!!

WE ARE ABOUT TO GET HIT BY THE MOST INTENSE STORM IN RECORDED HISTORY IN NEW JERSEY, AND ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE STORM IN UNITED STATES HISTORY!!!  With that in mind, I can't believe we are still not under a State of Emergency in New Jersey, meanwhile both bordering states and almost every other state from Virginia to Massachusetts is under a State of Emergency, other than Delaware, which is just as surprising.  EVERY major model is now showing a direct hit on the New Jersey Coast, anywhere from Cape May to Sandy Hook, but the consensus and most likely landfall location as of right now appears to be near Ocean City, New Jersey, just south of Atlantic City.  This would be absolutely devastating for the beaches from Atlantic City to Toms River if this were to verify, meaning the beaches and barrier island in those locations have the potential to be completely wiped out.  From Toms River north to Sandy Hook, the devastation should also be tremendous, although I would be hopeful that those beaches would not be completely wiped out as well, but they could be.  As far as the affect on us, a hit that far south would save us from the absolute worst that Sandy has to offer, keeping that for South Jersey.  The rains if Sandy hit in South Jersey would be much less, in range of 2.5-3.0 inches, which is manageable in most locations, especially since it has been so dry recently.  Don't get me wrong, there will definitely be some flooding, but it will not be as bad as it would be if she hits further north near Asbury Park or Sandy Hook.  The winds will be quite strong here, but again, probably not as strong as they would have been if she hit further north, probably sustained in the 20-40mph range, with some gusts to 60-70mph.  That is my best guess right now, but for goodness sake, why are we not under a State of Emergency already?  I am sure we will be soon though, reality will have to set in down in Trenton sooner or later.
