Here is what happened overnight and this morning with Sandy. It was approaching Jamaica, it was expected to not yet be a hurricane or a minimal storm. It hit Jamaica with 90 mph winds.
Sandy was supposed to weaken while crossing Jamaica, but it did not. Next it would cross Cuba as a weak hurricane and be weakened before it got to the Bahamas. It did not.
Sandy weakened briefly but began to rebuild as soon as it hit the water on the other side of Cuba. Very impressive.
Sandy is now at Cat 2 hurricane, a strong one. Most thought it would only be a TS by now. Sandy has been full of surprises.
I notice that Nick Gregory highlighted the fact that the angle of attack of the storm will serve to push more tidewater into the Jersey Shore and NY Harbor.
