Sock Puppet Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Was really hoping for a Cat 1 or stronger here. That doesn't look likely anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Was really hoping for a Cat 1 or stronger here. That doesn't look likely anymore dont let the negative nellies who come out as soon as the storm weakens deter you. It will be a cat 1 at landfall. Jet interaction is going to help and she will get better before her NC landfall and water is plenty warm all the way up the jersey coast to sustain a weak hurricane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 It's the way it looks right now. Unlikely anyone in the city or west is getting 70-90mph winds. But at this point who knows, every storm is different. I love how everyone is letting their guard down.

SNO Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I love how everyone is letting their guard down. "It's just going to be a nor'easter, etc" Yeah...at this rate you will hear people calling for a few showers and a slight breeze. This is still a very serious situation for coastal residents.

Alpha5 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Dont watch the weather channel, there acting like Irene is the reincarnation of Andrew or something. The most dangerous storm of our lives...yeah ok. Its a Cat 1, give me a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's why I posted it in here....just a gut feeling based on past hurricanes/tropical storms and their lack of wind on the west side We should get a contest going. Maximum wind gust at area airports.... You have zero data to back this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's why I posted it in here....just a gut feeling based on past hurricanes/tropical storms and their lack of wind on the west side Fair enough. I have only experienced sustained winds like that once in my life and it wasn't a hurricane/tropical storm. It was the December 1992 noreaster. I consider that a once in a lifetime storm in this region so if Irene fails to pack that kind of punch, it is very understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most dangerous storm of our lives...yeah ok. Its a Cat 1, give me a break I don't believe any reporting station in the NYC area has a gust above 60 mph. The storm will likely become extra tropical above OC MD. Biggest concern will be coastal flooding and urban/small stream flooding with around 4-7 inches of rail in most spots.

Stormlover74 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think it's going to be close, Central Park and EWR won't, JFK and LGA will I don't believe any reporting station in the NYC area has a gust above 60 mph.

Sock Puppet Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Anyone have any idea if they'll be closing bridges? I'm gonna be in Somerset NJ until Sat night and gonna head home to Brooklyn then instead of Sunday to ride out the storm at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I would assume there's certain wind restrictions. Usually they ban motorcycles and trucks but they might just shut down completely if winds get above 50 mph or so. Anyone have any idea if they'll be closing bridges? I'm gonna be in Somerset NJ until Sat night and gonna head home to Brooklyn then instead of Sunday to ride out the storm at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 As long as there's no preemptive closing like other places, I'm fine. I would assume there's certain wind restrictions.

TheTrials Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 what an economic hit the tristate will take because of over-reactive governors and mayors. This will be a bigger bust than March 2001 when she slides harmlessly east OTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
