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

The 9PM update.. this storm is practically vanishing on satellite! That dry is working

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..

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

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.
