One of the most knowledgeable people on the planet about the subject of hurricanes...

============

Even before the storm started, WeatherBell meteorologist Joe Bastardi wrote in a Patriot Postarticle -- This Storm Is Long Overdue -- that Sandy was a storm that has been long anticipated. "For years I have wondered why a storm like what I have forecasted -- a hurricane hit on the mid or north Atlantic Coast from the southeast -- has not occurred. ... Instead of asking why something like this is happening, I have always wondered why it has not!"

Yes, it did take a perfect setup for all the ingredients to come together, but it's not an event one couldn't see coming. "It will not be because of Global warming, but because of the combination of natural events that will cause it," Bastardi warned. "In fact, my father, a degreed meteorologist, would show me tracks from hurricanes when I was a kid and then say, 'all one needs to do was move that track a couple of hundred miles and what appears to be ready to happen now, would happen.' The point there is that this was seen as something that could happen years ago, even by people in the field before me. If it does occur, it will be because of nature, not man."
