New York City during Irene.. I absolutely LOVE this AP photo..
Saturday, August 27, 2011
For those wondering about Long Beach Island..
I have received no responses from followers there on how things were.. And that troubles me greatly..
Comments on the big networks..
…they say that the dry air won’t stop the storm. I agree.. But it will do more than what some may think.. Any little bit of dry weather and weakening will help this thing not be as bad as feared. Although think of it this way: For places that are only 10 feet above sea level, a storm surge along with 12 inches of rain along the coast is going to be pretty bad. And even more, for the inland areas, 6 inches of rain on saturated ground isn’t going to be pretty
Latest... Irene "Weaker but still menacing"
That from CBS news..
Menancing, sure.. and weakening surely. That dry air surge truly did a number on Irene.. I look forward to the newest stats when they come out from the NHC .. I wondering if this storm gets a downgrade any time before it gets to NYC?
And that is NOT TO SAY THIS WILL NOT PRODUCE RAIN. 17 inches in North Carolina, a high tide with tonight’s new moon, is all sure to produce flooding. Maybe we can cut down on some of these winds, though..
I am not saying wind and rain is over..
But that dry air has certainly moved into Irene.
Here’s hoping it keeps going..
Anyone out there from Long Beach Island?
And if so.. how is everything going in my little favorite vacation spot along the Atlantic? .. I hope all is well.. and I fear it’s not.
And how about my second favorite place? …Asbury Park?
Worries about the inmates at Rikers Island prison..
….things are happening that (hopefully) won’t happen for another 100 years.

Yes, I’m being overdramatic. Your point? ;P Anyway, “enjoy” this “exciting” view out of my apartment window on the other buildings and the sky around my home as Irene arrives. You probably won’t see much and may want to check out cam 3 at this site (look for cam3 beneath the live image). Click the “Continue reading…” below if you don’t see the player.
once in a lifetime thing.. The floor of Grand Central, so clean you can eat off of it! … well maybe not that clean..

The floor of Grand Central looks so clean. If Victoria station were emptied the floor would basically just be tramps urine.
How is everyone dealing out there?
Readers from North Carolina, Jersey, D.C., Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, and the lovers in Virginia: HOW ARE YOU ALL HOLDING UP?
She’s a monster. Can you spot Irene?

Hurricane Irene can be seen on the U.S. East Coast.
Update: This satellite movie, released earlier today (August 27) by NASA, shows Hurricane Irene moving through the Bahamas and making landfall at Cape Lookout, North Carolina at around 8 a.m. EDT today.
More from Irene: The flooding is the real danger, guys. It’s a huge storm and is dropping a ton of rain. Enough to engulf a car, apparently. An incredible shot. (via Twitter user @MsNakiaB, who has posted a ton of photos today)

New York reacts
How are New Yorkers reacting to Mayor Bloomberg’s order to leave? They’re going to the beach!!
AP writes: New Yorkers, many of them without cars, don’t have much time to get out of the way before the city shutters its subways, buses and trains on Saturday
SUBWAY SHUTDOWN
"Waiting until the last minute is not a smart thing to do. This is life-threatening."

I'll be honest...
I’m worried for my followers and readers.. and especially New Yorkers… Please be safe. Get supplies. This will be a storm unlike any in recent memory, if not your life… This is big, this is bad.. last time NYC got this type of a storm was the 1890s….
Once in a 50-year-storm possible... ready?
Irene just destroyed the Bahamas.. it’s coming to the east Coast.. NYC is going to face some very difficult conditions..
The coal region is not immune.. lots of thoughts of the famed Agnes coming back
How is everyone prepping?
