I've been watching on the news, seems pretty mental, funnily enough here in the north east of scotland we're getting battered by very strong winds and driving rain, with some gusts that feel like the roof is going to blow off, i know... nothing compared to what the usa is getting, but i have to wonder if its after effects of irene blowing right accross the ocean, or just a wierd coincidence. it just seems to me that when the east coast of usa getts a hurricane, we usually get strong winds here.... and i often wonder if its tail winds.
anyway back to subject matter... stay indoors and stay safe.

My power went out last night around 6pm and hasn't come back yet. Called this morning and they said it will be this afternoon or evening...guess that's better than days or weeks...my sis is only about a mile away and still had power last night so I can go over there if need be
Went to bed around 9:30 cause I was bored..woke up around 1:30 but went right back to sleep...worst part was to hit us overnight but I guess I slept right through it!
Other than losing power I've been safe..Hope everyone else has been too

Hope everyone is doing ok out East.....
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
hurricane floyd was worse. this was essentially a really bad rain storm with some wind. lots of flooding though, obviously.
couple tornado "warnings" that never materialized. power went out for a couple minutes then came back on.
looks like all the reports of the shore being washed away were overblown....your juggler's vaca is still set for friday
....looking forward to 24 hour coverage of 6 inch snowstorms later this year :roll: :thumbup: :wave:
yeah my feelings exactly. Least around here it wasn't too bad. I know a lot of people lost power, luckily i wasn't one of them (knock on wood). Bring on winter!!! NOT!

the local news media blows. they love this kind of shit.
last night i saw a reporter out on some street interview some dude and his girlfriend who were riding a motorcycle on their way home from the bar. this was around midnight. the reporter was appalled that they were out on the streets despite all the warnings. the guy goes "it's really not that bad at all. it was worse out in ambler. but this is really no big deal here..."---then the reporter kind of gets into an argument with him. she's like "well the mayor of philadephia disagrees with you, we've been covering this for 24 hours and it is only going to get worse! yada yada yada...."
yesterday CBS in New York had this mobile reporting going on down the shore. Today i wake up a half hour ago and it's the same guy driving around from 11.

how bout news anchors, at the anchor desk, live on tv checking their phones and "reporting" on stuff their friends were texting them. anyone see this? "my friend in montgomery county is saying a hurricane touched ground near her house and they are all in the basement!"--then she'd ask the weatherman what he thought and he'd go "well i have not heard that, we haven't confirmed that yet... but it is possible."
saw this on nbc10 last night. tracy davidson and hurricane schwartz. ....what a bunch of dopes

saw something similar on WCBS2 last night. the weather guy goes we're getting reports about a funnel cloud touching down in south jersey. Then he goes well like it's hard to see through the rain and wind so we can't confirm it but we'll check it out.

My sisters boyfriends place in Freeport,LI on a canal is taking on water badly. Boiler is done, deck is completely covered and the main house is flooded. The guest house is 6 ft elevated and ok. He stayed behind and is apparently stranded for a while
I'm here in Farmingdale, still with power and relatively unscathed. Ground is soaked and leaves all over.

Coastal communities obviously getting the impact
Is she near the Nautical Mile? I'm about in the center of the island on the Queens side of the county line between Nassau County.

I just got a call from my best friend. She has been out on a fishing boat for the last few days, no way to get a hold of her. She is 30 minutes from land and just north of the storm. She is safe...
Thank you. I can breath again.
Ummm.. this thing is moving north.. Probably not the best idea to be on a boat in it's path, even if it is only a tropical storm now. There could be 30 foot waves out there..
I can never recall a hurricane hitting Boston, NYC. Weird.
Well.. It's a tropical storm now. I think it was moving to slow for it to stay a hurricane. Waters are just too cool that far north to keep its intensity up. I think if it was moving quicker it might have stayed a hurricane.

They are off South Long Beach rd, you can see the nautical mile down the street and easily walk there
ok here in brooklyn .... parents area in lower manhattan is pretty flooded...
but my summer town took a direct hit...iam afraid to see what happened...plus all my peeps out there
and my brother is in the next town ...he was evacuated...afraid to see his place when he goes back
ughhhhhhhh
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
Has anyone noticed how the reporters are increasingly almost petulant? "But it's still dangerous! You shouldn't go out!"
I fully expect that at least one of them will stamp their feet and progress to a full-blown tantrum because lower Manhattan still exists.
yes! i forget which thread i posted but some guy was being interviewed and he was saying "it's not as bad as i thought it would be...." and the reporter goes "well the mayor of philadelphia disagrees with you and it's only going to get worse!! :x :x "
i'm telling you, these people were rooting for the world to end today

The best was during the storm they went to the reporter at the Jersey Shore. He's saying how bad it is with the wind and the surf the beach won't last!
So he pulls out his handy dandy wind gauge....... 14MPH!!!!
"Well... It's definitely gonna get worse"..... "
These stations get hard ons for a catastrophic event so they can stay on the air. More devastation better ratings

Irene fails to wow New Yorkers
New York (CNN) -- Tropical Storm Irene's swipe at the Big Apple proved Sunday that New Yorkers can be a tough crowd to impress.
"I slept through the whole thing," said James Trager, a writer who watched nature's display of fury as it took place outside the windows of his apartment in Midtown. "Nothing. It's exaggerated."
