JMU2004 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 this guy is a darwin award nominee.. he's parked right under a power line trying to get footage of a pole coming down. Darwin is putting it mildly.....he needs to get his dodge stratus out of there. Jackass is more appropriate..but the commentary is priceless.

TUweathermanDD Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Westerly wobble occurring for Josh, was reading his thread, agree with you that this will be probably a strong ts by the time it gets to NYC (probably 70mph), though its current wobble shows it will probably be over OCMD (OXB), ACY, and likely JFK, wouldn't you agree?

phil882 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Phil are you buying nhcs call of a cat1 landfall on long island? Well its the NHC and I can certainly respect their call, but this westward jog occurring right now might cause Irene to go over significantly more land than their forecast track is indicating right now, and that will likely induce more weakening than expected. Either way I'm less optimistic about a cat 1 landfall that far north than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Getting plenty of 50ish gusts now...not bad for 100 miles nnw of center and if it keeps this heading gust to hurricane force or better seem likely. Seeing green flashes as morning dawns so power will get iffy as time goes on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 core looks better now than any time in past 24hrs.. Great shots of pier in NC on wxchannel Incorrect... the core has become somewhat poorly defined outside of a northern eyewall remnant feature that is pushing onshore.

A-L-E-X Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 That thing actually looks like what Gloria did when it came up here, with all that dry air on its southern side. Actually, I think Gloria was stronger at LF in Long Island (Cat 2), but this is a larger storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
