Wow.
The eye looks kind of chaotic, which I guess you'd expect with a variety of storm systems hitting at the same time.
Are they forecasting more water than wind? Cuz that's what it looks like. Floodier and floodier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here at least, it's flooding out of the ocean, not from rain, that seems to be the concern. Edit: I mean, water-wise.

Because books.
In other news, the Random House/Penguin merger is going ahead, and like everyone else in publishing I'm really hoping the new name of the company is Random Penguin.
Big Six now = Big Five.

The governor of Vermont (which I know is not in the immediate path of landfall, but it's in the storm path, and, well, I'm keeping an eye on Vermont for fraternal reasons) is saying that, for them, the high winds are the issue rather than flooding. I hope that's true.
I don't know about NJ/NY/DC/MD/all the areas that are going to be today's landfall -- from pictures I've been seeing already, flooding looks pretty dang serious.

Steph, they're expecting 30 ft waves in Lake Michigan. Craxy.
Also, I know a guy who's been trying to get to NYC from Seattle since yesterday morning. He spent midnight to 4am in the ATL airport, and was last heard of on the ground in Pittsburgh, hoping to get a Greyhound bus to NYC. Good luck, man.
What the hell is so urgent in NYC, and will he be able to do it when he gets there anyway? Seems like a few days in Atlanta (or just staying in Seattle) might have been a better plan.

Right now the NYT is saying Penguin Random House. I was rooting for House Penguin Random.

Penguin House wouldn't suck either.

Well, his wife and kids are in NYC. He was in Seattle for a conference.

Tom,
damn that looks bigger than Katrina. Katrina was a bitch. I think Sandy might be Alexis Carrington.

WUT.

And every book could have a different penguin on the spine.
