Truthfully, I am just ever-so-slightly north of Freehold Township (in yellow), and this track at the moment has it smashing head-on into Atlantic City, which is about 85-90 miles south of my modem. Other storm models have Sandy heading into Toms River, a mere 25-odd miles due south of my terminal. But in the scope of a storm whose reach is now exceeding 800 miles, these are rather small variations...
More to follow, of course. One odd thing: Local CBS affiliate did a split-screen on the Jets game to broadcast a Chris Christie news conference on the storm; the governor sounded and looked really sick. Drawing breath through his mouth, he was almost wheezing; his voice was nasally and the bags under his eyes had bags under them.
I have no doubt he'll lead us through this, but I fear for the long-term ramifications on his health. Constant exposure to a hurricane's full force while ill and weighing over 300 pounds - likely on no sleep for what may well be days - is another form of danger that the governor would be well advised to monitor...
UPDATE: Video of Christie at this link (I removed the embed, I hate auto-starts). What do you think?
