As I said.. DRY AIR. Keep it coming

I am not saying wind and rain is over..

But that dry air has certainly moved into Irene.

Here’s hoping it keeps going..

....the dry air came in.

See the radar? Is it me or did this thing just stop being a hurricane????

Oh boy…

This is the aftermath of the last Category 2 hurricane to make landfall in Long Beach Island.

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?

THE STORM SURGE IS GOING TO BE THE REAL ISSUE FOR A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE

It amazes me.. and quite frankly scares me.. how massive this hurricane is.

Boats aren’t lasting, as shown by this …

Worries about the inmates at Rikers Island prison..

….things are happening that (hopefully) won’t happen for another 100 years.

So far..

Irene leaves 900,000 homes, businesses without power on East Coast

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.

The floor of Grand Central looks so clean. If Victoria station were emptied the floor would basically just be tramps urine.
