It does look like a bad one. I concur in wishing the best for all residents in the area.
It's been pretty cold here in the state of Misery, got to 9 the other night kinda made me wish I had a fat girlfriend to keep warm with. 
Be careful there and stay warm.

Slightly off-topic....but what the hell was Disney thinking naming a cute little clownfish in a kids's movie after Captain Nemo?!?!?!
To those who've read the book (or seen the classic James Mason movie).....Nemo was a misanthropic TERRORIST who used his sub to attack innocent sea vessels?!?!?

I don't think NOAA looked at the long range aspects of the names they use.
However looking it up... I found more than I wanted to know about Nemo

Didn't know about the "Bleak House" reference....but I did know that "no man" in Latin was the reason for Verne's nom de voyage for the Captain. He basically didn't want to link Nemo to any nationality....at first.
In the sequal "Mysterious Island", Nemo is revealed to be an Indian prince, "Dakkur" (sp?). And thus, Verne, the Frenchman, openly points to the British as the "oppressors" that Nemo built the Nautilus to go after.
