TheTrials Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Our subforum continues to lead the way with stupidity. It's embarrassing. LOL, go look at other places, comparisons to 1938 and calls for 100mph winds in central CT seem pretty stupid to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What does Nasdau county have to do with Bloomberg. lol yeah my bad, long island. Yeah, but the evacuation of areas that are farther inland doesn't seem necessary at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Holy crap, can we stop reposting Steve D's thoughts? I know he has a degree but some of his thoughts seem so weenie-ish that I'm convinced he'd be 5-posted if he posted his thoughts here. Period of RIC possible? seriously??

Dsnowx53 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Evacuations for all of Nassau County south of Sunrise highway? WTF? Seriously? This is becoming absurd now. I can't believe it. Utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteoutwx1796 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Does anybody else have the eerie feeling that this doesn't weaken here on out? and if it does the pressure falls instead of rising? I have this sneaky feeling the trough/jet streak are going to do a lot of dirty work for the north...couple that with a new moon late August into early September.

psv88 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I can't believe it. Utterly ridiculous. its dumbfounding. the ONLY reason would be a fear of the heavy rain...since that area floods a lot...but HALF THE COUNTY...i just dont see the point. Why cause panic 24 hours before conditions go downhill? Are they THAT afraid of the possibility of being blamed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 No more tracking or following the storm until tomorrow 8:30 PM. Gonna be a tense 25 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 No more tracking or following the storm until tomorrow 8:30 PM. Gonna be a tense 25 hours Yeah. I'm all modeled out also I'll just be following the strength overnight into tomorrow to see if it intensifies. This storm will be bad but if she manages to pull a period of intensification off and ramps up to a solid cat 3 by tomorrow morning, then we can worry about major wind damage in our parts. Surge will be bad no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastalplainsnowman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I can't believe it. Utterly ridiculous. I can't speak to whether it's ridiculous or not, but what's interesting is how the hype builds on itself. 'The MTA has NEVER shut down the whole system!' ' Nassau County NEVER evacuated everyone south of Sunrise!' as if that is automatically a sign of how bad the storm is versus a sign of how government is so much more (overly?) cautious and nanny-like now as compared to, say, 25 years ago. The risk, as is often discussed in these boards, is that if this turns out to be less than expected and a real CAT 3 makes its way up here in a month, fewer people would heed the warnings. After all, could there really be more hype in the media and TWC than what we've seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, could there really be more hype in the media and TWC than what we've seen? agreed...but this is POST-katrina era here. and, this track is the worst case scenario, at least on some models. 1893 was the last time this potential track happened and we know what happened...so people are freaking out. But i will say, an east wind at 50-70 blowing the sound into the city, that scares the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just something I found that may allude to why our winds could be strong regardless of how strong Irene might be as she approaches our area Early on Sept. 14, Tropical Storm Ike merged with a large cold front moving from west to east over the central U.S. and became extratropical. This deep low pressure continued toward the north-east spreading heavy rains and damaging winds with hurricane-force gusts across a large portion of the Midwest. It moved into Canada that night, giving strong winds and heavy rain across Southern Ontario and most of Quebec, before exiting into the Atlantic at the latitude of the Labrador Sea, early on the 16th.[2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, could there really be more hype in the media and TWC than what we've seen? I know nothing of the topography, but I do know that this situation reeks of a very large surge scenario. Very large windfield. Formidable winds. Worst-case Track. Katrina's surge >>>> Camille's surge. Like the MS Gulf Coast, NYC is an extremely vulnerable place for surge (the others being the Chesapeake and Tampa IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
