Hurricane Irene

Right now, Hurricane Irene is currently hammering the Bahamas, and is heading to the coast of North Carolina. Already, 200,000 people are being evacuated from the coast. From NC, Irene is expected to move up the east coast, hitting Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. And me.
Track the movements here.

Good luck fellow people on the east coast.

Planning on doing anything to "storm proof" your house? Have any other experiences with hurricanes?

|: I moved to Florida back in 2004 when three hurricanes were projected to hit Florida. I moved here from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The only tropical system I remember receiving was Tropical Storm Floyd who brought a crapton of rain. Irene was planned to hit Florida. I got excited. It moved away, so we're only getting large waves. I am disappoint.

My boy in New York is coming back home to Michigan because of the storms.

I'm in Cumberland County NJ, and we just got a foot of rain and major flooding from rains a week ago. And it's raining today. The gov't is already evacuating Cape May County, which is about 30 miles south of me. I'm 40 minutes from the coast and pretty cose to the Delaware Bay too. Hope I don't get hit too hard.

Yup, in Arizona we have to worry about hurricanes all the time.

California boy say wut r weather problem?

Oh, and we really don't get any earthquakes contrary to popular belief.

Well Jersey usually has very good weather compared to some places, the last major hurricane to hit here was 1985, Hurricane Gloria, AFAIK.

Threat Level: Extreme FFUUUUUUUUU

Meanwhile in Arizona:



OMG EVERYBODY RUN IT'S A FRIGGIN' HABOOB EVERYONE'S GONNA DIE!!!

lol Devin, maybe I can send some of this rain your way :p

Is it just me, or are all "male" hurricanes total pussies? I never hear about them on the news.

Anyway, I've no need to worry about any kind of storms here in the Rocky Mountains.

Seems that way. recently I guess.

Statistics show otherwise, though.

Psssh, whatever

All I know is that the ladies have been hitting hard ever since Katriena.

They've told Brigantine residents to clear out tomorrow morning, which means I have to get all my stuff packed to move up north in the morning. I'll be staying at my mother's house west of Philadelphia.

I was vacationing in Wildwood, NJ, and there will be a mandatory evacuation tomorrow at 8 A.M. We decided to leave tonight though, so I am in the car on the 4-5 hour ride back to New York.

Sorry bro. Ocean City, NJ is better though

Hahaha. We were planning to leave tomorrow morning anyway :P and I've never been there, but I'll take your word for it.

I mean you really can't go wrong anywhere on the Jersey Shore, but I prefer Ocean City's boardwalk and beach. In Wildwood you have to walk so far just to get to the water. Glad you enjoyed your vacation though

True, the beach is enormous, but my hotel was right there, I just had to cross the street to get to the beach, and go down the street about a 2-3 minute walk to get to the boardwalk.

As for the weather... we on the east coast just experienced the earthquake, and now the hurricane is coming through.

I didn't even feel the earthquake, I was in a car :(

Oh... I was sitting on the beach with my family, and it just felt like the earth shook back and forth a little. I don't know how it felt being in the hotel, my dad felt that.
