Re: Come on IRENE!
I like storms, I hope it hits us. My girlfriend also loves storms.
It is not uncommon for us to be outside in the driveway in the middle of bad thunderstorms. My girlfriend already left to go to waters-edge for the weekend, she wanted to watch the hurricane from the beach. I don't think its going to be that bad...I haven't decided if I am going to join her or not at the beach. I don't think it can be any worse than that tornado in 2009 that hit us, that was kinda scary being outside.. The trees were just snapping, we had to run inside because of the hail. Pic of 2009 storm damage: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7952160...98964769/show/ No power for 3 days after that mess. |

Re: Come on IRENE!
yep still cl&p, but I'm not buying into the hype.
This all seems very overblown for what is going to be a cat 1 or tropical depression by the time it gets here. Only prep I am doing is charging up my cell phone. That will give me a camera, mp3 player, 100 games, FM radio, flashlight, and clock. And if the cell tower isn't down, then internet and phone too! Last edited by Lookin4SVX; 08-26-2011 at 02:52 PM. |

Re: Come on IRENE!
Been through Gloria years ago ( I even went out with a video camera and drove around and tapped it for the local TV station ). This will be nothing . In about 10 hours you will hear them say it stalled over NJ and is heading out to sea. We are sold out of Gas cans,water,D cell batteries,we could sell 50 more generators if we could get them, We sold 33. and I stood in line for 1/2 an hour to buy 3/4 lb of boiled ham and a 1/2 lb of cheese.
I am in the valley here in CT . Most of it just blows over us . |

http://www.intellicast.com This site tracks everything! They have a interactive map that lets you track wildfires to earthquakes. The one in Richmond was on the map in 5 minutes.. It will show every quake for 3 days, world-wide.
No downloads, just click and look.

Re: Come on IRENE!
For most inland areas of CT. this was an overhyped hurricane. Max winds in my area were around 40 MPH, same as you would see in a summer thunder storm or winter blizzard. Not one single limb down in my neighborhood. Different story though the closer to the shore. I encounted several downed trees and flooded roads on my way into work today at 2pm. There were two long trees that had fallen across the northbound side of the Merrit Pkwy right before the tunnel at exit 59, and there were two state troopers with chain saws cutting it up, which I wasnt expecting. I guess the crews are busy with other clean ups. Good Riddance Irene!

Re: Come on IRENE!
I agree it was no Gloria, or Larry . Big hype . What are we gona do with all the generators that will be coming back from the people that bought them .I got branches in the pool and the sump pump[ just stopped pumping. Lights blinked 2, tree times. Our parking lot was full ( 20 or 30 ) electrical power boom trucks . I don't think 5 people lost power in my town. Looks like a beautiful week coming up now
