Hurricane Irene Takes Aim For East Coast

[roadtonowhere08]

Not sure if any of you follow weather events for fun, but I bet Hurricane Irene will impact many of you East Coasters.

If you are interested in following the event unfold, this link is about as good as it gets: http://www.talkweath...carolina-coast/

Looks like it will grind against the East Coast from N. Carolina to MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts. It definitely has the potential to cause some serious damage.

If you live in NYC, mass transit is expected to completely shut down for possible evacuations. If any of you are expected to feel the effects, stay safe and prepare now.

This is a shitty way to end the summer. We're trying to figure out if we should leave eastern LI to head back to our apartment where we could be told to evacuate.

[Salt Peanuts]

Yeah, it's not looking too good. We're hoping that all the damn trees in our yard as well as the ones in the state forest next to our house won't fall.

[The Monkey]

Controlled burn?

Good luck and stay safe out there.

Unfortunately, it's too frickin' wet from the ~6 inches of rain that has already fallen this month.

On a more serious note, I need to get some more food/water in the house tomorrow. I'm sure grocery stores won't be filled with people like me.

They are saying that this maybe a 100-year flood event. Be safe out there guys!

[mrarroyo]

Be safe and best of luck. If you have not done so already take plenty of pictures and/or video to document the before. It will assist with the insurance company should you suffer damage.

[Torpedo]

Take care of yourselves mates. Stay safe. Sending best wishes for you all.

[TMoney]

Good luck, Monkey!

You live in Battery Park City, right? Thats like 20 blocks south of where I'm at in the West Village. I heard they are evacuating most if not all of the Battery Park/Financial District Area.

[tyrion]

Stay safe everyone. Dinny, are you guys under the mandatory evacuation? I just heard something about Wall Street/Battery Park coming under an evacuation order.

[guzziguy]

Good luck to everybody in Irene's path. Stay safe!

[deepak]

We are expecting 4-6" of rain

Hoboken is in a Zone A area. Its pretty much expected the whole city will flood. Glad I am up on the 4th floor.

But, but, no power means no Sous Vide! The horror!

Losing power for a week is not fun!

Went to two grocery stores and one liquor store. Stores had lines for 50-75 per register and the liquor store had cars backed up out onto the street waiting to get into the parking lot. All I wanted was some steaks and beer for the weekend and I came home empty handed.

[The Monkey]

Are you being evacuated? This is one of those times I wish I had a weapons closet.

[cetoole]

Getting ready for the looting and pillaging, Dinny? Shopping list prepared?

That is just not right.

After Wilma we were out of power for 2 weeks. Fortunately, we have a generator so we were able to keep the fridge cold and watch tv since we had Directv. The propane grills came in handy as well.

If my power is out for more than a day I will just have to move.
