Frankenstorm!

Incoming 'Frankenstorm' next week, it'll hit most of USA's East coast. So anyone living there, be careful, looks like it'll be a big one. A combination of Hurricane Sandy (now in the Caribean), winter storm from the west, and arctic air from the North.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — An unusual nasty mix of a hurricane and a winter storm that forecasters are now calling "Frankenstorm" is likely to blast most of the East Coast next week, focusing the worst of its weather mayhem around New York City and New Jersey.

Government forecasters on Thursday upped the odds of a major weather mess, now saying there's a 90 percent chance that the East will get steady gale-force winds, heavy rain, flooding and maybe snow starting Sunday and stretching past Halloween on Wednesday.

Meteorologists say it is likely to cause $1 billion in damage.
