LOL the media says "75 mph winds there" at Long Beach. Definitely not. Good job by the reporter of making it look worse then it is though.

So the 8 AM fix on Irene is in? Are they saying 75 mph hurricane with center located at Long Beach?

Nope a 75mph 963mb hurricane that made landfall in Queens at 8 AM. Sweet, huh?

Unless Queens is 40 mi. SSW of NYC..................I beg to differ.

Are you saying she has come ashore in Queens with sustained winds of 75? Is there anyone reporting anything close to that right now?

On radar it looks like the center is over Sandy Hook about to cross Raritan Bay and then into Queens/Nassau border.

We're not even close to hurricane force sustained here-I have to say that windwise, the 3/13/10 noreaster was worse for us. We may have had some gusts to 60-65, but the story here is sthe storm surge, by a mile. Our power isn't even out.

Yeah. It looks like worst winds were in Queens and also by Moriches.
