-- had a pretty good forecast for what would become Superstorm Sandy.

'Big storm early next week (Oct 29) with wind and rain??? A number of computer models today were hinting at that, suggesting a tropical system now in the Caribbean may merge with a cold front in that time table, close to the East Coast. At the same time, 8 days is an eternity in storm forecasting, so plenty of time to watch this. Consider this an early "heads-up" that we'll have an interesting an weather feature to monitor this week... details on what to expect and whether we'll even deal with a storm still way up in the air.'
