Hurricane Irene
 

Well wishes to everyone about to be hit by this storm. Hoping everyone has "battened down the hatches" and is prepared for this thing. Supposed to hit the Carolina coast this evening and wreak havoc up the entire eastern seaboard. Best of luck to everyone in its path (including me). Keeping my fingers crossed that this thing fizzles out, but just in case.

Good luck to all the Easties. Stay safe. Grab your water, food, guns/ammo, and bug out to a safer location.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Yeah not sounding good this storm. They're talking it up like a 100 year storm. I hope it doesn't affect us too badly and it's more talk then actual happening. Be safe everyone!!!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Stay safe and dry.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Yes, good luck all those in the area, thoughts are with you. As a native South-Floridian I've been through my fair share, and I know we got very lucky with this one missing us.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Exactly what Seth said!!!

Hope all the East Coast BOTL/SOTL stay safe this weekend!!!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Stay safe and smart, Mac. :tu

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

good luck. supposed to hit me sunday evening, but not as bad as the south east. said 80 mph winds. Hopefully, like kelmac07 said, it fizzles out. let me know how it was down south. stay safe everyone

Hurricane Herf????
In all seriousness I am hoping everyone fairs well. I was looking at the path and this thing looks like it is following a similar path as Gloria back in '85 which I think was the last time a Hurricane really beat up the Northeast. I know on Long Island that may have been the last one to do major damage. I'm hoping the media is just over hyping this thing to fit in with the doom and gloom since the earthquake happened to be in the same week and it dwindles down to a Tropical Storm. Good luck everyone.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Just spent all day putting everything in my yard into the shed.
With my luck, the yard will be fine, but the shed will blow away.
On a brighter note, I got on the roof to clean the gutters,
and unlike the last time, I used the ladder to get down instead of a bush.
Here's hoping everyone stays safe and dry!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Stay safe friends.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Between last night and today, I've been preparing and helping family prepare for the worst. Hopefully, it will be far from it. Stay safe everyone potentially effected.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

So far, so good. Branches down, loads of rain, and one power loss (for about an hour). Eye of the storm is supposed to hit this area in about an hour and a half. Still keeping finges crossed.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Stay safe everyone!!!! :tu

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

I dislike when Mac gets on our Roof, :r we have been running around like crazy since our return from our Jersey Herf Trip, after the earthquake :noon. it took us 2 days to find a place for everything in our yard...and to stand in line for gas, water, propane and food. the Generator started like a champ! we are ready.. so far we have lost power 2 twice but it came back on.:tu wishing Irene passes over us fast.. but it does not look like it. BE SAFE! for anyone in her path Big Hugs

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

fingers crossed & good luck

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Hope you all are fairing well. Stay safe. Thoughts and prayers with everyone in Irene's path.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Power is back on here. Hope those of you north and east of us stay safe.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Pouring in NYC right now, not terribly windy. As a new dog owner, what should I do about getting him out to handle his business. Just tried to walk him and he wants no part of it.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

all is good right now here. Lost power for 8 hours. ughhh. actually had to sit here and talk to my wife. :D

crossing my fingers for parents as high tide is right now and their house floods during these types of things.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Leaking roof...DAMNIT!! Now playing the "find the hole" game. Thank goodness for "Leakender". :r :r

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

that sucks Mac. but you did make me go around and check all the rooms upstairs for water marks. :D

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Will leakender work on the mets bullpen? :hm

Glad your safe bro, sorry about the leak!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Last hurricane we had my dogs loved running around in rain. You just have to go out and walk it till it gets used to it.


Sorry to hear about your roof Mac!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

I'm praying for everyone. Be safe. These too shall pass..

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

a real man would have gone for a ride on his Studio Tobac bike!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Brother in law texted a few minutes ago and said they are getting hammered with rain and wind in Templeton, MA.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

It is kind of funny but here on the north shore the rain was worse over night than it is now. The weather reports are looking like it will just be a bar noreaster in my area thankfully.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Good to hear Paul.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

We've got some pretty strong gusts in central CT right now. The power is still on though. The local news is saying it may all be through here by noon.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Worst is passed us now.
My main concern was water in the basement and a tree falling.
Neither happened.
Basement is bone dry and more importantly, so is my Humidor!
I hope all effected share my good fortune!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Good To Hear, Brother!:tu Stay Safe, All, & Thoughts & Prayers Sent!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Worst of the rain is done here, still pretty windy. Going to try and take some pictures now. Oh and 2 inches of water in the basement!

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

glad to hear most are fairing well

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

No damage to report. The basement did take on a little water. Most importantly everyone is safe!
