Local gossip has subverted all other TV. Even the network news is not available. So Sandy has landed in Cape May after 1800 hours on Monday at the most southern county in New Jersey. A news reporter stands on a hotel balcony adjacent to the ocean in Cape May. Big waves. Street flooding. Nothing hazardous. What anyone would expect from a barely category one hurricane. Only 50 MPH winds. If it was hazardous, those hotel windows would be blowing in. Something that most people should evacuate for. But only a typical bad storm.

A trivial category one. How many category fours and fives have struck Tiawan, Japan, Korea, Phillippines, and China this year?

Below radar map shows rain. Almost no rain north of the hurricane (Atlantic City - ACY to New York) as the hurrican makes landfall. The data buoy adjacent to the remains of this hurricane never saw waves higher than 20 feet. Most concern is rain that precedes this hurricane.
