Manny Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Goodness, I have to say here in the interior has been consistently pouring for 4-5 hours in New Paltz. Winds are ok, but gusts are definitely into the low 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottB Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How are winds by the eye wall? I'm not entirely near it yet, but if it helps any, Edison is rather calm. Calmest I've heard the winds all night aside from the dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHurricane Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 based on radar looks like Irene will slam into NJ coast and ride it into NYC.. curious to see if 5am update is a near landfall by ACY while still holding on to cane status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not to be a downer here but if this is impressing a lot of you that much you must not have been around for Gloria. Honestly a little depressed with this overall. Yeah some strong bands but based on some of the posts I see here the last hour or so you'd think a CAT3 was moving ashore. Mods please don't delete this as it's not a trolling post but an honest observation. Been at work in Westbury watching over a 40K square foot Federal facility and see nothing of the "Chaos" that seems to be going on around me Lol. Am I missing something ?

Been at work in Westbury watching over a 40K square foot Federal facility and see nothing of the "Chaos" that seems to be going on around me Lol. Am I missing something ? I personally agree...I'm not observing any chaos in Westchester County, though of course no one expects a TC to be as dangerous inland. But considering the media hype and the supermarket lines/traffic today, you'd think something worse than a windy rainstorm was occurring. Given the discussions, I was certain we were going to lose power in this storm, and we haven't even had a single flicker of the lights which occurs in modest thunderstorms. The 8/18 t-storm was much more impressive here with 3.5" of rain in less than 2 hours; this time, most of the rain has trained over the Catskills/Poconos, or slid to the south across Central NJ, which to be fair has been pummeled.
