    Forecasters are getting very serious about an almost doomsday scenario on Saturday / Sunday with regards to Tropical Storm (possibly soon Hurricane) Sandy.

    It's forecast to move out of the Caribbean starting tomorrow and be in the Bahamas on Wednesday / Thursday and then possibly merge with a trough coming down from Canada producing a possible "Perfect Storm" scenario very close on on the New England shores on Saturday / Sunday.

    Might the game be moved ? What if the electric is out ? All kinds of crap could happen.....

    Well according to the latest GFS model run it's showing a possible more western track and a possible merging with the trough coming down from Canada. The new model runs will come out just before 11pm and will have the latest hurricane hunter info calculated into them. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

    They are forecasting for South Fla windy and some rain gusty winds sustained 20 mph and gusts to 40 on Thursday. We will be in a tight gradient and that should ramp up the winds for us.

    I'd be more concerned about hurricane Mandy...I hear that storm will come and give without taking.

    You sure it'll leave more of a mark than hurricane Rick? Boy, that one just refused to give it up, turn around and desert it.

    That thing literally moved heaven and earth to be there forever.

    If it hits, it will probably be all Ireland's fault.

    I'd welcome a storm on Sunday... we know Sanchez can't throw in the rain... and Tebow can't throw at all. Have no fear... just hold on to Rex Ryan and you'll be well grounded.

    Didn't it rain in the last Jets game, or was that the Rams?

    I'm not sure, but I think Tony S is now fatter than Rex? maybe now that he's back in Jersey with real pizza.

    I'll say it again, the weather for Northern NJ Sunday is partly cloudy and 65 degrees. Rain moving in on Monday.

    Well away from here
    I should be more worried about the storm than someone in NJ. Just sayin' as if it goes out to sea a bit - a NE direction, it will come closer to me than most people.

    Storm or no storm, if I'm breathing, I'm watching.

    Not really seeing what the concern is for the game. Even if the GFS verifies, its still for next Wednesday morning with it being that close to the east coast. Maybe a little bit of wind just starting to arrive from it, IF it takes that track on Sunday. Unless it really changes though, and reallllly speeds up, dont see what the issue would be.

    You have to ask that when the guy in your avatar is doing the twist!....
    That's almost as good as the allusion to Barely Manenough!

    I'd say if you are crossing the GW and you don't smell urine or alcohol, then be afraid, be very afraid...FML New York stinks literally. I lived in Yonkers as a child and I've never been to anywhere outside of a paper manufacturer that smells as bad as New York does. It doesn't even need borders, you know you're there when it stinks like artificial ****.

    Well it is heading this way, but not until late Monday/Tuesday is when its supposed to hit. I hope the power doesn't go out, I'd like to hear the Beningo rant after the Jets lose :up:

    Yet here in Northern NJ they were not. Light rain now in the forecast and temps in 60's. If storm hits it will be late Monday
