This is crazy. They haven't had anything like this since 1961.

When my gf mentioned it to me yesterday I thought she was joking. The water should be too cold for a hurricane out that far in the Atlantic. So weird.

They have a lot of of old building and even newer building aren't likely built with hurricanes in mind. - ty97 Oct 15, 08:41 4
- It's weakening rapidly, but also moving really fast. It will not make landfall as a hurricane as it will become "post-tropical" whatever that means. - Tim Oct 15, 09:57 1
  - I have no idea what that means except that Sandy was 'post-tropical' and welllll....... -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 10:51
- Well, I’m sure they do get some storms. Just not 150mph ones. - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:50 1
  - Category 3 is 111-129mph (over 200km/h) so hopefully it weakens before landfall. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:53
