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.
