[UPDATE: 7:28PM ET]?Hurricane Sandy has been downgraded to a post-tropical super-storm driving surging waters to Long Island, New York, as its winds have switched to a southeasterly flow.

Reports state there are over 2 million people without power over 11 states.

The storm surge could be as bad as the "Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962."

[UPDATE: 6:45PM ET]?Hurricane Sandy reportedly slammed ashore in southern New Jersey, after 6pm local time, with 90-MPH winds and a huge storm surge that will keep rising till high tide in the 8pm hour.

The monster storm is 900 miles wide and made up of several aspects of severe weather. It has already broken records with its lowest pressure ever for a hurricane?940mb.

With the full moon and the rising tide, the weather service warns that the worst is yet to come for areas in the path of the storm surge in the NJ, NY Battery area and Long Island, as well as coastal areas all the way up through Mass.

Power outages are widespread, almost a million reported in the Tri-State area of NY, NJ and Conn.

[UPDATE: 4:45PM ET]?The following report is from The Weather Channel:
Hurricane Sandy picked up strength and speed and is now nearing landfall at a speed of 28 MPH. Landfall should occur near extreme southern New Jersey or central Delaware by late afternoon or early evening.

There are reports of trees and powerlines down in parts of southeast Mass., southern Conn., R.I., southeastern N.Y. and N.J.

Wind gusts of 60 to 75 mph have been reported in several coastal locations from Massachusetts to coastal New Jersey and coastal Maryland.

Expect wind gusts of 80-90 mph, or higher in southern New England, the NYC Tri-State area, and the Mid-Atlantic states through Monday night. Gusts of 60-70 mph, or higher will spread into the interior Northeast and Appalachians into Monday night. For the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes, the strongest winds may actually occur Tuesday, as the pressure gradient gets squeezed.

[UPDATE: 12:49PM ET]?According to news reports, New Jersey's Garden State Parkway was closed due to flooding from Atlantic City-south. Atlantic City itself was said to be under water, though Hurricane Sandy isn't due to make landfall until the 8pm hour Monday night.

[UPDATE: 11:10AM ET]?Compounding the destructive effects of powerful winds and storm surge, as Hurricane Sandy slams into the Jersey shoreline Monday night is the fact that it will be a full moon, causing higher tides than when it's not full.

Hurricane Sandy has already caused flooding from ocean waves in some areas along New Jersey's shoreline, although the storm has not yet made landfall.

News reports state that Atlantic City, NJ is already "under water" with Casinos ordered evacuated, and flooding throughout most of the city.

At last report, Sandy has strengthened with winds sustained at 90 MPH, moving NNW at about 18 MPH. According to The Weather Channel, the storm could be twice as bad as Hurricane Irene.

NYC Transit is shutting down the tunnels around 2pm, said reports.

(U.S. East Coast)?Late Sunday night, Hurricane Sandy, which already claimed lives in the Caribbean, made a turn toward the north. It is expected to make landfall along the New Jersey coastline sometime on Monday night, packing with it powerful winds and a "life-threatening storm surge," according to weather reports.

However, the worst case scenario is that the hurricane merges with a huge cold front moving in from the west, turning the weather event into a "superstorm" that could wreak havoc on the East Coast and New England for days.

States along the eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Connecticut have already declared states of emergency, with evacuations and transit and school shut downs, ahead of the storm.
