nadinbrzezinski (110,761 posts) 4. Yes and, that is my pointI hope this weather event tat fits into a pattern finally wakes AMERICANS up. In Mexico city, have been feeling the effects for a generation, this is not even open for debate. It is real, it is happening and weather is getting more strange and violent due to more energy in the atmosphere, due to increased heat in the atmosphere. In the US...we are still having this shitty, yes, it's shitty, discussion.
Great events can have little causes. In this case, the immediate cause is most likely little more that the coincidental alignment of a tropical storm with an extratropical storm. Both frequent the west Atlantic in October…nothing unusual with that. On rare occasions their timing is such as to result in an interaction which can lead to an extreme event along the eastern seaboard. As to underlying causes, neither the frequency of tropical or extratropical cyclones over the North Atlantic are projected to appreciably change due to climate change, nor have there been indications of a change in their statistical behavior over this region in recent decades.

this is not even open for debate.

I heard the overnight news moron on ABC this morning trying to puff up Sandy. "Sure it was a catagory 1 but it was like it was wrapped around a catagory 3."I woke everyone up again....
Actually it was wrapped around a Cat 4. Irene was the same.
