Bob Chill Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 A good trick and something I'm doing on Saturday is buying 50lbs of dry ice and packing my freezers with it. I did it during a multi day power outage and my big freezer stayed rock solid cold for 4 days. If you pack them before the power goes out then it works even better. And if the power doesn't go out I'll have a great time filling rooms with clouds and freeking the kids out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 No Cat 4 in the new forecast. I thought I read on here somewhere where mets were discussing whether stronger means east or west (or no effect). Would that impact Irene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't close them in a room full of the stuff - CO2 is not a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayvidpriddy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Question/advice: I'm a huge weather freak and I want to drive out to Ocean City, MD Saturday evening and experience what this hurricane brings (I'm from DC btw.) Latest reports from Accu Weather & TWC are calling for 95MPH hurricane force wind gusts IN TOWN with the storm to quite possibly go right over the Delmarva! The track is moving farther west now verses farther east. My concern...I drive a minivan and want to know if I will be safe in my car in those kinds of winds or will I flip over? I'm only going up for a night drive/trip, I'm not staying anywhere in town so I will be in my car/van the entire time! Please don't answer unless you have knowledge about this (no insults meant but I'm looking for real answers/opinions instead of calling me names because I want to drive into a storm.) This is a safety concern and I thought it was better to ask before going so I know what/if I'm getting myself into. Thanks a bunch! Dayvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayvid I'm not being mean or anything but to be quite honest - if you have to ask these kinds of questions you might not want to go unless you are a highly experienced chaser. (Like HurricaneJosh). Don't get yourself into a situation like a few of our members who shall go unnamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
