Hurricane Irene

[psychoangel691]

People on this chat are making me want to facepalm. One person was like, "Can I drive up the Atlantic city expressway to Ny on the 28th?" I was just like are you kidding me? The meteorologists are pretty much to a point where they're like you people are dumb. Not actually saying that, but I'm sure you know what I mean lol.

I hate being on the east coast in times of hurricanes. Generator keeps me sane during power outages

[inDheart]

yesss, look at that dotted line avoid me. august is really making up for the lack of rainfall in the first half of the year. it does seem like the storm will lose intensity quickly, though.

Keep in mind: Hurricane force winds are about 75+ MPH are are nothing to laugh at on the northeast coast. As it runs into the Delaware bay and into New Jersey its expected to diminish into a tropical storm, which could still bring 30-50 MPH winds into New Jersey, New York and the Delaware valley. Not only is flooding going to be a major problem around any creek or river, trees and power lines will be a serious risk. If you have any weak trees in the area they face very good odds of being knocked out from this very atypical storm.

Those poor Bahamians. Irene's taking her sweet time.

Aye, another hurricane for the east coast. Gonna be a rough ride, but I think everything will be okay. Of course, that doesn't mean that the hurricane won't cause a huge mess for people, but overall I think everyone will be okay. Damages yes, but nobody dying is more important.

Also, psychoangel, I have same feel. Some people are just stupid. That's life for you I suppose.

Come hang out in Cali with me for a few days. It's been about 75 degrees every day this summer~

I live right next to the Pacific, so that's why my weather is so temperate.

^this ****, yeah!
But naw, they don't really live there.

Anyway, just watching this storm because it's predicted to come close to Ontario. Don't want any bad spin-off storms coming here.

But in all seriousness, Hurricanes should not be taken lightly. Speaking from Experience.

Yeah, pretty much this lol. I remember hurricane Charley, I was crying like a little bitch when it hit past.

BRING IT

edit: they say it'll be a category 1 storm by the time it hits CT, and IIRC a cat 1 storm isn't terribly damaging. I mean, they'll be clearing branches and debris for weeks/months but nobody's house is gonna collapse. Not even yours, tyson.

Truth

I slept through a cat. 3 hurricane once. Didn't even wake up, even though the beams were falling...then again, maybe I just sleep too heavy.

I'm just super worried about flooding. We're in a lake community and it's already high from all the rain. A lot of stuff we have is stored in the basement here for now, so if it floods we're in big trouble. I'm gonna spend the day tomorrow bringing up what I can and putting stuff in bins just in case.

[i love you]

lol...

But seriously, this is serious especially if you live close to an ocean or a place surrounded with a lot of trees, power lines or anything tall that can easily be taken down by strong winds etc. Seems like you guys run a huge risk of flooding so definitely take some kind of action to make sure you guys are prepared and safe

Dude, I live in Corpus Christi, Texas and it took out our power. Been sitting in the heat for about 6 hours.

[Reincarnate]

**** I just moved to a riverside apt in NYC too

[flash dualist]

This is bad cause I live in PA.

[robertsona]

gonna go outside and beat that hurricane with my bare hands, show that bitch who's boss

[MarukuAntoni]

It's Ryu coming in with his hurricane kick.

New updates. Irene thought to start drifting away from direct Jersey impact to along the coast. Hurricane will still hit Tropical storm force into south Jersey around 2-3 AM early on Sunday morning. Saturday night will consist of an ominous mix of wind and rain at 30 MPH being felt up through the Delaware valley, Philadelphia, and most all of Jersey. Early sunday morning will consist of the biggest damage was 50+ MPH gusts should tear through much if not all of Jersey and the whole of the Delaware river area. Flooding is all but guaranteed.
