Sickman Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Total devistation to NYC and the rest of the 1-95 coridor from Philly to Boston , tons and tons of trees down and well as massive power outages (millions of people) and probably 100s if not 1000's of deaths because people arnt going to take this storm seriously.

WishingForWarmWeather Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I can already see the big fat red arrow on one of Accuwx's dumb promo maps pointing Irene right at NYC..."PANTS CRAPPINGLY CATASTROPHIC MEGA-HURRICANE IRENE AIMS FOR NORTHEAST" Really, whatever they have to do to draw people into the article and give them ACTUAL information after dragging them in, idc. I grew up in the tri-state, so on my FB the majority of the people on it are from the area, and none of them are really even talking about it, or care? Is it not being talked about up there at all? idgi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 man the live thread is dead. This is when discussion is important! Not when Irene is looking beautiful and 500 people post to inform us that indeed, Irene looks beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, whats your point? I can't tell you, but this is a compliments only forum. Word of advice, call sarcasm on th 1000s dead statement. If you want to make a balsy call call for sunshine in NYC on monday like me. Sure you'll get trolled but at least you'll be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I actually thought of that earlier. Yeah, then we can talk about low 80's and wispy clouds in peace.

Big Jims Videos Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I will be fully documenting this storm from the Jersey Shore....between facebook videos filmed with the amazing iPhone and my secured totally rain protected fully charged mini dv video camera. I have three locations scouted right now..Point Pleasant Beach at my friends three blocks inland, Manasquan Beach on the beach at another friends, and Belmar Beach. There will be a lot of walking..there's no way in hell I'm leaving my car anywhere near the squan side of the beach.... Armed with a video camera, a media pass, and sandals, swim trunks, a bright blue WNEP news slicker, and lots of extra dry clothes at my friends house(s) Yeah, bring it on....BRING IT ONNNNNNN..

It is a very tricky forecast and no one local has gone condition alpo yet, so most people are pretty meh about it and pretty sure it will miss us. The last couple of winters around here have taught me that anything is possible and dreams can come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 NHC can give you that in 2 minutes. Discussion is the attraction here. At least it used to be. NHC mets aren't the only mets out there. If you're someone who only checks in once or twice a day seeking info from knowledgeable posters, there's no way you can say that superthreads aren't cumbersome. Between the subforum threads and main forum threads, there is plenty of disco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
