Super Typhoon "Nanmadol" 2011
Amazing how the areas covered by tropical cyclones varies so much. This is Super Typhoon "Nanamadol", while creeping up the coast of Taiwan, appears to be sparing a direct hit, thankfully.
Meanwhile Long Island in the US should get mentally prepared for as large of a storm surge as seen on that coastline, in US history. This is no hyperbole. The Great New England Hurricane (yes, that is the name) of 1934 is the previous record holder, but the surge-trap, that is the New York Bite could make this one worse, especially on western Long Island, where the mega-city of New York lies. The recovery from this event could be long and more painful than the storm itself. - HLG
