Ginx snewx Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Josh, if you are driving in from nyc..... you can avoid all bridges and get to some good chase spots. Take 95 to the foxwoods exit..then follow the signs to westerly and that will take you to route 1.... follow that to 1a and narrangansett is easy to get to from there. RT 1a in Westerly is shut down after mandatory Evac are ordered, 1 is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yea sure Garth, I know what you mean. ha. Better put sandbags around that basement. Heading to Lowes tonight before the hype hits tomorrow. Funny how this storm is really down played amongst non-weather folks that I know. That's good for me in dealing with preps, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Awesome-- I looked on the map and I see what you're describing.

Cold Miser Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 For those of you in CT/LI/RI/MA, here's an outstanding read with a lot of great pictures of the 1938 storm. Check out Horseneck beach... http://library.salve...rricane1938.pdf Thanks Scott. I've seen that somewhere before, and it is pretty awesome.

BrianLaverty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 RT 1a in Westerly is shut down after mandatory Evac are ordered, 1 is not. Really? What about 1a towards narragansett beach? I've never seen that area closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 With thunderstorms in the forecast for W. NE tomorrow the upper tributaries of the Ct River will be primed up and then to get a potential 4-8" of rain in a short period from Irene. Wow. Look out below on the lower Ct River. Not good. Here is the historical high water marks for the Ct in S. Hadley, Ma. The 38 hurricane is the middle mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenkins Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really? What about 1a towards narragansett beach? I've never seen that area closed. I think you might be confused. RT 1 runs between Narragansett and Westerly. RT 1A in Westerly, AKA Shore road, will most certainly be closed in the event of an evacuation. RT 1 is an evacuation route so i doubt that local and state officials would shut it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowMan Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 From TWC: National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read laid the threat out plainly: "We are very concerned with what's going to happen in New England. The benchmark is the 1938 hurricane. I am very concerned with what will happen there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
