Weather experts say the East Coast has a good chance of getting slammed by Hurricane Sandy early next week.
The storm, currently pounding the Caribbean, is a mix of a winter storm and a hurricane, which some have dubbed a "snor’eastercane."
The Weather Channel's meteorologist Jim Cantore is super-psyched about the unusual event. "I never thought I would see another Super Outbreak after 1974. It happened," he just tweeted.
The "Super Outbreak" was the worst tornado outbreak in U.S history, according to NOAA. Over a span of 16 hours, 148 twisters whirled through 13 states and killed 330 people.
Fortunately, weather forecasting has come a long way since 1974 and experts are watching Sandy closely. The hurricane is expected to move through the Bahamas tomorrow and become a monster nor'easter by the time it hits the U.S. East Coast early next week.
Mayor Bloomberg has already warned New Yorkers in flood-prone areas to be prepared for an evacuation.
