Hurricane Irene Banter Thread

For anyone who is thinking about chasing this hurricane should think twice about stepping food on the outer banks. I went with earl and for 60-70mph gusts and it was down right miserable and scary. The storm surge covered roads and I almost became trapped. And the sand dunes blew on into the road, this caused me to be stranded for 2 days. I can not imagine how bad it could be if a cat 3 or 4 hit. Do not chase anywhere near highway 12.

I grew up there just take me along ;) In all seriousness you don't chase on the outer banks though, you just sit somewhere. I'd much rather hang out around morehead city or go north...it's really no good on the outer banks.

How's the GFS looking so far? Cant pull it up on my phone, and all the posts about it are being deleted in the model thread.

Out to sea! Eye doesn't come close to OBX, even 18z looked slightly more west...slightly...but it's almost identical.

Is anyone afraid skyscrapers might blow over in NYC if the hurricane hits there?

Well today's quake probably weakened most of them structurally, so, yes, I think we could be looking at Manhattan's skyscrapers falling like weeds before Irene's scythe.

But just think of all the salvage opportunities afterwards. Fiber optic cable, plastic knives, hidden porn collections ...
