Remember Superstorm Sandy?

It wasn't a category 5 hurricane when it hit the US coast, it wasn't a category 4 hurricane when it hit the US coast, it wasn't a category 3 hurricane when it hit the US coast, it wasn't a category 2 hurricane when it hit the US coast.

Superstorm Sandy wasn't very "super" when it hit the coast as a category 1 hurricane............barely above a tropical storm. This is another example of Liberals twisting the truth. Forkie should get a job with the lying media.

WHAT THE F#@K BOILERMAN......you go off your meds this morning ????????

I suggest you see a head shrink asap......to determine what the hell that cottage cheese in your thick noggin is doing !

I would link to the wikipedia site for Hurricane Sandy, but you and your cohorts would just accuse me of linking to a commie liberal website.....so instead will just give you some facts:



Largest Atlantic Hurricane of all time (measured in diameter) with winds spanning 1,100 miles.

2nd costliest hurricane in US history.

Damage in the US over 65 Billion dollars.

233 people were killed in 8 countries

In the US, Hurricane Sandy affected 24 states.....almost half of the states in the country (we have 50 Boiler....in case you are not good at math)

There is a lot more, including the storm surge in New York and New Jersey, but not going to bore you (or go beyond your reading skills) with the details.


I, for one, can attest to the power of Hurricane Sandy. Whilst perched on the 18th floor of the Blue Chip tower in Michigan City for 3 days, I saw some of the largest waves on record on Lake Michigan, some of them surpassing 25 feet in height, and higher. Those waves were kicked up by Hurricane Sandy....altho I was a good 600+ miles from where Sandy made landfall. That is one hell of a powerful Hurricane to kick up those kinds of winds that far from the center of the storm.

That hurricane did indeed deserve to be called SUPERSTORM SANDY !


Okay Boiler.....for another one of your idiotic posts, I award you


Get a clue, and get some professional help !!!

Damn right. Those 233 people killed by the storm just needed to pull themselves up by their own bootsrtaps.

From Wikipedia.

"Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey,[30] with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h)". I've golfed in Vegas and in Primm with wind gusts at over 60 mph. I guess a little stronger at I would have golfed during a "super storm". By the way, the storm quickly weakened to a tropical storm.

I was reading an article today with a writer mentioning global warming and associating this with Super Storm Sandy. This storm was quite weak, yet folks built properties and lived in vulnerable areas. It was never a super storm, but instead a bunch of global warming mumbo jumbo.

I've vacationed on Isla Mujeres, Mexico many times. About a decade ago, Hurricane Wilma hit this island. The winds when it hit landfall had slowed from from 185 mph to 150 mph (vs Sandy's 80 mph at landfall). It dropped 64 inches of rain on Isla, with waves up to 25 feet, plus the storm surge. The island has 15,000 residents and if any people died it was only a few. Most of the Island sits about 10-15 feet above sea level.

Wilma was a super storm. Sandy was a pussy, involving a bunch of poorly placed properties and people.

Damn that Chris Christie and all his liberal fairy tales.

80 mph winds and rain doesn't scare me. I guess I'm just a strong, fearless guy.

Mr. BM, I'm sure you are trying to make some veiled point, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Please enlighten me.

2009 the remains of hurricane Ike stretched a good piece as I was returning from Vegas. It went from Louisiana to Eastern Alabama and north to almost Tennessee. It took out power for some people, close to 3 weeks.

Hurricane wind speed of 80Mph is just over hurricane cat 1.

According to experts, the main damage is caused by the storm surge, not the wind.

Lastly, how many people live in the New Jersey, New York metro area?

I was reading an article about global warming, and the author used "Superstorm Sandy" as an example of extreme storms. It was a storm, not not a super storm. Those discussing global warming mumbo jumbo really should use better examples. It was blowing 80 mph.

I mentioned this above.
