The word has defiantly gotten out in Coastal NJ.. Just got back from my local Family Dollar and people were buying batteries and candles like crazy !!

I have to imagine some of that has to do with the fact of how often jersey got rocked by tstorms this year. Definitely nice to have a contained buzz by the general public about the storm this far in advance.

It was a good question. Irene is going to be what everyone compares this to

Yea... I should have re worded that a little bit. I know the snyoptic set up is a whole other beast, just wasn't sure if the same problems can exist in these type of set ups as an irenish type.

Nice job on the radio by the way. All you guys. I like the troll who asked "annular or derecho?" HHS dn you guys hung up ASAP. That was funny. Lol.

Speaking of Irene, people around here are saying " another Irene" in a laughing kinda matter. It's annoying...

Can't wait to work the firehouse night works mon-tues-wed 3p-7a. :-)

for all of the forced cynicism about Irene....a lot of people did lose power....and a lot of people at least knew nearby communities that went some time without it. Also, I think in general there is more respect amongst year round shore residents for Noreasters than for pure hurricanes.

Bri, what was the answer to your question? What kind of wind speeds?

Yeah the whole IMBY attitude of those people from Irene....including my friends....was very irritating. We got a generator before Irene and I'm hoping we are lucky enough not to use it again. Hoping none of the 250+ year old trees on my street decide to blow over since they still have most if not all of their leaves on them.

Tom,

Adam answered. I asked if we would have less than stellar mixing if the winds as with Irene in some parts.

Adam thinks the pressure is overdone a bit, but said because this is a strength if transitional storm and not weak, better mixing, more mix downs. No wind speeds were given, but they said they could def see good mixing from 850-925 to the surface. Obviously, strength and track are a huge factor here.

Models are forecasting 60-90kt jets around this system, so, quite impressive. They did say, on second thought, they could see 60knt gusts in the region. Sustained maybe 30-40.

By the way, Orh_weatherman from SNE brings up a good point:

In reference to what the height of 925mb is:

"It normally like 2500 feet...but this time its about 1500, lol. Heights are so low with the sfc pressure getting down so far. "

Any thoughts on if and when potential warnings would be issued for our area? I called US Air trying to switch my Tues AM flight to Sunday but they won't waive the change fees ($150*5 = $750) unless an advisory has been posted. My kids are supposed to be trick-or-treating with Mickey Mouse on Tues night. I can't book separate one way flights (which would only cost me $90/ticket) because if I don't take the 1st leg of my original flight my return trip would be cancelled. I assume any warnings will be posted tomorrow night or Sat which won't give me a lot of time to make alternate plans..
