Logan11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hey if it causes a lot of damage over there - you can make a lot of money rebuilding everyones homes. Nice to see this has weakened a bit. Hopefully it comes through with minimal damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Its doesnt matter if Irene is a depression up here the rain from this is going to affect alot of people! It seems like most people are just looking at wind speeds Oh' yeah, the entire valley should be leery of flooding. 5-8" of rain dumping into the hills of Vt and SW NH will be huge.

A-L-E-X Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 sound's reasonable to me, if you aren't 15' higher than normal sea level you should evacuate IMO... Well, I was pouring over their ridiculous surge maps the other night and I'm supposedly in a Cat 4 surge zone, but I'm about 5 miles south of Sunrise Highway. I'm between 17-19 feet above sea level.

MaineJayhawk Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I understand this isn't the monster Cat. 4 we could have had, but some of these posts are getting a little ridiculous now. If this has little to no land interaction between here and LI, we should be all set. It should have quite a lot of land interaction between Nashua and Long Island. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 gfs is over mainland eastern NC...the moves off the coast...makes a second landfall in Central LI/Central/E CT Wow, based on the other thread-- they were saying it actually is within 5 miles of the Jersey Coast and makes landfall near JFK.

OSUmetstud Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 GFS holds serve from 12z. little bit too much interaction with mainland eastern NC for my liking..hopefully it moves a bit east of that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Weird an mrg post when everyones down Since you ambushed me a week or so ago I've payed closer attention to your posts. I've come to the conclusion you're a dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wow, based on the other thread-- they were saying it actually is within 5 miles of the Jersey Coast and makes landfall near JFK. It does just east of there... if you follow the h5 maps at 45 certainly looks like W LI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free_man Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The main wind field is going to be displaced like 100 miles east of the center by the time it hits JFK. Paying way too close attn to the lowest sfc pressure is pretty pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 18z RGEM is a nice hit/track stays over the water just east of ACY then western LI into HVN or so I thought you'd like this: Yeah, I think at this point we are very likely looking at a very large hurricane with 80-85 kt winds at NC landfall as fcst by NHC. Of course, given the very large size and fact that there will also be some support from the outflow channel and upper level divergence from being in the entrance region of the upper jet to the N, it may be very slow to weaken substantially even as it moves N.

DomNH Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Looks like some more convection around the center. This isn't going to hit inland NC, either. OBX at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Gon' be stormy come late Saturday night into Sunday. I don't care if this is a hurricane or a TS. Fun, fun, fun! We don't get to witness these too often in our lives. Track seems pretty well set with a landfall over C to W CT/LI. Don't underestimate the rain, storm surge, and flooding potential with this system. It's going to be nasty. 60+ mph sustained winds are not something we see every day either.
