Wow wtf I just lost power already the storm is so far away this third-world power grid shtick is awesome

Great big boom came with the power loss, it was prob a tree since I didn't see any lightning. Now I get to be hot and bored for the next 36 hours.

That's what happened to me XD.
Mine was down for 6-7 hours

Nothing happened to my family really, just light outage. Wasn't really worried in the first place... they don't live near any tall trees or anything. Which was the cause of like 2 deaths down in VA. Maybe 3.

No loss of power where I had to evacuate to.

The lower section of the apartment building where I live, though, is submerged in water. And they had to cut power to the surrounding area out in west Hoboken due to multiple fallen power lines in the water.

lol, it's raining HARD here

Power is still on though, nothing that bad

**Plan_Bsk81127** · 08-28-2011, 09:35 AM

Out of this whole thing I only got a couple fallen branches out front of my house and a power outage that lasted like half a second last night then never got another outage. So nothing much happened for me. Its just windy atm, hasnt rained for awhile now.

**wargasm1** · 08-28-2011, 10:37 AM

Its a sunny day here, u guys enjoy your hurricane.

[TeRa] · 08-28-2011, 11:17 AM

Just drove around my town, the river flooded pretty bad, the road down there, and the park, are completely covered in water, I'll try to get some pictures.
Saw an SUV parked in like 3-4 feet of water.

**psychoangel691** · 08-28-2011, 11:36 AM

yea there's a lot of flooding all over Jersey. Upside though, the hurricane picked up speed and lost strength so it didn't get to linger as long as was predicted. Which I'm thankful for cause the docks are all underwater. Too much more and the lake probably would have spilled over. Our basement has some water in it and behind the house is like a lake out there, some minor limb stuff right by my house. I haven't ventured out and about so I'm not sure how the rest of the town looks.

MrGiggles · 08-28-2011, 03:35 PM

I sat out on the porch as Irene made landfall and listened to the wind whipping around. I went inside once the rain started coming in horizontal haha.

**virus003** · 08-28-2011, 03:42 PM

I wish we had power outages and stuff like this in cali, we don't get shit, it seems like it would be kind of fun to deal with that stuff. All of you guys stay safe though

**Reincarnate** · 08-28-2011, 04:58 PM

It wasn't too much hype. There were double-digit deaths involved. What was predicted for us was from foreshadowing what we already witnessed more down south probably over actual statistics. Whatever the reason, the hurricane did damage, be thankful you didn't drive somewhere and have a tree land on your car.

In other news, Boston streets (Chelsea, Everett etc...) were covered in branches. Entire commuter system was offline today (which sucks).

**MarioNintendo** · 08-28-2011, 05:17 PM

It's pouring down in Quebec now. Had to drive home. Gah. That was scary.

**xVaLoRx** · 08-28-2011, 05:17 PM

According to a weatherman I heard on the radio, hurricanes like this usually come in 2's and there will be another one in 2 weeks.
