Hurricane Irene Banter Thread


Recommended Posts

Not entirely sure... should I find that out? I just know that they're Eastern LI. I'll ask but I don't know if they'll answer until tomorrow. Could you give me opinions on a general basis, or do you need the elevation?

If you want accuracy we are going to need elevation...it affects wind, pressure, and surge.

Will you be affected, if the current track verifies?

Affected, yes..... anything to panic over, no. Most of the elevation here is 20 feet or less (on the south shore), however Long Island has barrier islands protecting it. And this doesn't seem to be anywhere near a worst case scenario. The barrier islands like Long Beach, Jones Beach, Fire Island, etc., may be evacuated, but that's about it.

Typical DT

Wxrisk.com ALERT on 0z WED GFS MODEL RUN... the model is just going Bonkers with the cold front in the Midwest... and becuase it does it Kicks Irene really east and the Models PHASES the the cold front ( the Trough over the Great Lakes ) and Irene . I guess the GFS thinks this is a coastal Low and NOT a hurircane

Okay, good. Stay safe... :)

I'm 99% sure Irene won't miss Cape Cod but it will be a flopping pile of crap when it gets up there. If it does fish, not seeing a better synoptic setup for EC landfall later this season, and probably not for the next 10 years.

:axe:

dumb people said that with earl too

Did you ever give up? As in there's no hope left?

I was ****ing terrified... I had just moved to the city August 1st, from NNJ. I really had no idea what a hurricane could do, and was talked into staying by my friends. Really had no idea about levees or what they could or could not handle. Just wasn't something that came up in conversation after only being there for 25 days. At one point, yes, I just wanted to straight up die... more so from the things I was witnessing.

Where in NJ? I grew up in Denville and moved to Budd Lake when I was 21 before I moved down to Florida 3 years ago. Still haven't been in a hurricane.

Do you still live there?
