As this video goes online the path of Hurricane Sandy is taking it right into the south Jersey shore in about 2 to 4 hours. The Frankenstorm is packing 90 mph winds and our hurricane Sandy update has many coastal areas flooding.
We have Ocean City New Jersey already flooding and going into people's homes and that actually happened early this morning.
We have a crane dangling from a skyscraper in New York City which safety crews will not be able to get to and the storm is a coupe of hundred miles away from New York City.
We have Philadelphia International Airport with thousands of flights canceled right in the path of Sandy almost completely abandoned and we have the lowest ever barometric pressure being recorded at Atlantic City.
And of course all this is throwing the election and especially campaigning into possible array because power company and government officials are predicting as many as 10 million people may be without power for an extended period of time and unable to vote
So if you are near the Jersey Shore right now and you don't have hurricane supplies, stay put anyway because it's probably too late to do anything.
but if you are further up the coast and in New York and can safely get around you may have 3 or 4 more hours, but that is at the time of this video going live which was about 4:30 Eastern time. If you are watching this after that, please stay inside!
And if you are further inland in mid Pennsylvania or upstate New York you may have another day, but again this video went live 4:30 pm on Monday October 29th.
This is a one of a kind storm of the century and Perfect Storm that experts are talking about and I hope you are prepared and stay safe. Check out the links below for the Hurricane Sandy updates and articles I mentioned earlier.
