I will still fail to understand why people park their vehicles next to trees in storms. Especially a Hurricane of this magnitude, surely they will know there's a slight chance the tree will collapse.

At least 14 people have died in the devastation wreaked by Superstorm Sandy - including two children killed instantly by a falling tree. The children aged 11 and 13 were crushed by the toppled tree as they played outside their home in Westchester County, New York state at 6.45pm on Sunday. Other fatalities include a woman who was electrocuted to death by falling wires on Manhattan’s 134th street and a 29-year-old man who was killed in a car crash in Queens. A man was crushed by a falling tree in Ulster County, New York State, and one death has been reported in Connecticut and two people were killed when their pick-up was crushed by a falling tree in New Jersey. Police in Toronto said a woman was killed by a falling sign as high winds closed in on Canada's largest city. A 30-year-old man was killed when a tree fell on his house on 166th street in Flushing, New York City. Meanwhile a 62-year-old man was killed as he let his dog out on his porch in Oley, Pennsylvania. An eight-year-old boy died when he was crushed by a falling tree in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. And a jogger was reportedly hospitalised after being crushed by a falling tree in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2225108/Hurricane-Sandy-2012-One-million-power-New-York-Bloomberg-warns-city-prepare-worst.html

Snowfall.

Apparently Sandy is expected to hit land within the next hour, is this true?

Working for me, it's just a bit jumpy.

I don't think that's fake but it's from a while back.That's actually a rain core, those circular looking clouds I think are the edge of the thunderstorm. Again, this is from a few years back, it is not related to Sandy.

Thank you.I'm writing reports on the Hurricane, I study Hurricanes and I just wanted to have an estimated time for the landfall. I have multiple live streams loaded up that I have been watching all day.

Does anyone have an estimated time when Sandy will make landfall in UK time (GMT)?

Louisiana faces battering from Hurricane Isaac as storm takes same path as Katrina - and it's expected to strike on seventh anniversary of storm that devastated New Orleans. I hope everyone will be ok.

This was the predicted path of the Hurricane released today. Discuss,

Thanks for the information, Paul! Hopefully one day, I can find a few mates who would want to do this with me! I'll look into buying some books/videos to help me on my journey.

Well if I do, how do they prepare to go out? I mean, what are the preparations before going to chase?
