    Anyone Tracking Hurricane Irene?

    http://www.stormpulse.com/

    Seems that Irene also has a last name, "Phelps."

    Seriously, anyone in the path planning an evacuation or will you just be leaving?

    My last hurricane was Ike a few years ago. That was massive here in Chicago. We were drenched. Massive flooding. I hope the best for you guys in the path.

    I'm watching this one closely. Doesn't look good at all...I completely expect it to get very nasty in Central Virginia before bitch-slapping Megalopolis.

    I've been calling her Rene all day, but it looks like she'll close the center again and get her "I" back pretty quickly during the looming diurnal min.

    Good night, Irene.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Just saw NJ gov. Chisty on TV talking about the possibility of issuing an evacuation order. The man is more orange than Boner could ever dream to be. Jaundice? Jebus he's huge!

    Well...for as far as what I'll see is probably 40mph winds for 4 to 6 hour and a couple of inches of rain...just from what I know now.
    Damn Fran was like 80 MPH for 10 to 12 hours and that sucked huge...cant believe that was 15 years ago. Damn no power for two weeks and a bazillion trees down. RadioBarn roof was all over the place, but fortunuately little house damage.
    I'm watching her though...
    My best to all in path and be safe....you can pick the shit up later..get out of town if you have to.
    Good luck.

    Get your hard drives ready to tear out of you need to bug out! The slide feature in the old HP case is good for that.

    Well, the worst that can happen here is a tree will come crashing through my roof killing me. If it does then I hope it hits me hard and kills me in one hard shot because the last thing I would want it to be alive with every bone in my body pulverized. The second worst thing that can happen is lots of trees and wires down keeping power out for a few days or weeks, whatever and making travel difficult as we skirt around downed trees,.etc. Fortunately we had an intense Nor'easter that came through here not long ago and it knocked down most of the old rotted or weak trees. Don;t know how the stronger trees will take it., These types of trees are not used to sustained hurricane force winds. The good part. I am far enough away from the ocean, the sound, and large bodies of water so I don't have to worry about the ocean crashing into me bedroom in the middle of the night. With luck it won't be too horrific. We've had severe hurricanes skirt this area and not be too bad round here. This one looks nasty right now though/

    I just got back from Deltaville, Virginia where my boat is stored. I tried to seal it up and doubled all the lines. My marina is trying to pull it out and put it on hard stands. I'm trying to save the dumb thing and my wife is ready to collect the insurance (We obviously have differing opinions on the merits of boats.) This one scares me. Lets see, Isabel er Irene, I hate the I's. At least it is missing us in Charlottesville. Get ready to duck New York!
