Stop with the Sandy comparisons.  In no way, shape or form is Jose going to be anywher near the monster that Sandy was, with the lowest barometric pressure of a landfalling hurricane (yes, it should've never been declassified as extratropical right before landfall, if only for emergency response reasons) at 940 mbar.  Even the roided up GFS today only has Jose between 950-960 mbar as it reaches 40N near NJ/NY, while last night's Euro was more like 970 mbar.  Sandy also had the 2nd highest integrated kinetic energy at landfall of any landfalling hurricane in the satellite era in the Atlantic.  Sure the max winds weren't Andrew's 160 mph+, but Sandy was much larger and its overall storm energy was much greater than Andrew's, which is why Andrew had a catastrophic impact on only a small area, while Sandy had major to catastrophic impacts (especially storm surge) over a much, much larger area.  Jose is no Sandy - the only thing that could look similar is the track (but not the impact) if Jose makes a NW move into NJ/NYC, which his not anticipated.

Thanks for this. Sandy was freak situation and it's kind of odd and bizarre that some posters seem to be wishing that something like that would happen. Another poster called Sandy a "garbage storm", which is pretty much utter and total B.S. because it ruined people's lives. I thought that this forum was better moderated and maintained than the Accuweather one, but apparently anyone can just put up non-cited, non-researched garbage up here. I thought that there was a banter thread for crappy conversation, and that the storm threads were for discussion of the models, trends, and forecasts with cited scientific or meteorological data. User donaldsutherland1 should be everyone's model.  Moderators?

Sandy was so huge there was flooding going on in Lake Michigan near Chicago because of it.  The landfall pressure was likely in the 930s. Which storm is number one on the IKE list? I thought Sandy was #1 and it wasn't even close.  Is it Isabel?

TIKE vs IKE

And just speculation at this point, but it looks like the trough could potentially go and grab Lee/Maria.

Fun times ahead.

Jose seems to be like a shell of itself by this time though.  I was hoping for a Fujiwara effect on the East Coast.  Might be more like Eduoard or Hermine Part 2 if Jose is this weak (though 992 mb is a lot better than the 1007 mb it had after the second loop and landfall last night.)  What are your thoughts on the Lee/Maria system?  Pure speculation but if the Euro were extended out do you see the trough as being the kicker or do you think it would have grabbed Lee/Maria and pulled it towards the coast and north?
