Ill conclude with this note posted in the blog by AccuWeather senior Vice President Mike Smith:

A very prominent and respected National Weather Service meteorologist wrote on Facebook last night,

Ive never seen anything like this and Im at a loss for expletives to describe what this storm could do.

.
The regions lowest pressure on record occurred with the 1938 hurricane at Bellport, Long Island (946 hPa).

In the mid-Atlantic region, here are some record low pressures, which could be blown away - depending on the track of the storm:

Baltimore: 971 mb

Richmond: 966 mb
.
.
My barometer only goes down to 935 - and the lowest reading in the last few years has been a little below 980. - Looks like an "interesting couple of days ahead" around Tuesday here. - In fact it's pretty much the anniversary of last years October snow storm - lost power for 5 days. Have to check on the genset tomorrow.

Working on my preps today and tomorrow. When the meteorologists are really worried, it really scares me. I'm a strong woman, but these are the kinds of things that make me wish I was not alone.
