I'm thinking something like 9 PM to 3 AM would be a good time for a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I highly doubt I will even be sleeping. I dont think you ever slept during the Boxing Day Blizzard or the Jan 26-27 storm either, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I dont think you ever slept during the Boxing Day Blizzard or the Jan 26-27 storm either, John. The amount of hours I slept that night of Dec 26 was equivalent to the percentage of a clue that HPC had regarding initialization errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green tube Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 i got this email from PSE&G "PSE&G will have about 6,000 employees supporting the restoration effort, including 840 linemen and 540 tree contractors available to respond to outages once the hurricane pulls away. While our electric system has been recognized as the most reliable in the nation, we expect significant damage from the extraordinary wind and rain expected to pummel New Jersey this weekend. Full restoration could take between one and three weeks." ooofah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was thinking Belmar... Seaside/Point Pleasant and the other barrier island are obviously a no-go.

Well you know the twc has gotta keep you out ahead of the storm with up to the minute team coverage of hurrican irene as it pounds the eastern seaboard like they say....not like were trying to do the same thing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push them into the water lol.... those dolts dont know a thing about NY I guess you are going to be our eyewitness on the beach, since you live there, they cant very well make you leave.

mweisenfeld Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 This could be a JUNE 2006/June 1972 Agnes rerun in Eastern PA.As far as we go,5 inches of rain is a lot of rainfall,it is going to be tough to get that here with the track as it is right now. Too far east for Agnus -- much of the rain there fell on the watershed north and west of Scranton, not going to happen this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
