Re: Hurricane Irene

Don't really know what going on from the other side of the pond. But stay safe, never experienced a storm or hurricane and stuff.

Re: Hurricane Irene

People are so overreacting to this

I'm sorry and I hate to say this, but he's right. This storm isn't even half of what was expected and everyone is freaking out. All the wal-marts/Targets/grocery stores around here have been exceedingly packed and FULL with customers freaking out over this. It's going to be a tropical storm, yay, I've seen many of them.

Also a side note if I may: Never worry until you see Jim Cantore on more than once an hour. Whenever TWC starts rotating him in the spotlight shit gets real.

Re: Hurricane Irene

Meteorologists suck at their jobs

just saying

esp the one in VA on that one channel. He has gray hair and is obnoxious

I remember one winter season where he kept saying "WE'RE GONNA HAVE HEAVY SNOWFALL, EXPECT THE WORST!" etc, shit like that and we ended up with flurries of snow that melted the moment they touched the ground. I mean really. That asshole just sucks at his job. He exaggerates everything

People make money off fear and ignorance, it's nothing new.

Just protect and educate yourself.

NJ is completely losing their shit over this, but apparently they really are going to get hammered.

NYC gos full-panic mode at the drop of a hat so I expected this from them, but they've got a significant chance of not even dealing with a full-blown hurricane, just a tropical storm.

They aren't even far away, this thing is just moving that slowly.

Re: Hurricane Irene

It's not the hurricane itself, it's the rain. We're going to have flooding all over the place. Plus probably be without power as well.

Re: Hurricane Irene

I'll tell you one thing -- it does look pretty awesome from space

Re: Hurricane Irene

Well, we're getting hit with rain as we speak. If you look at the radar map on weather.com you'll see the hurricane shifted slightly and now is en route directly smack dab at where I live. So far it's just rain and like 10mph winds, if that. Maybe 15. But, we're expected to get 85 mph winds now with torrential downpour, and apparently it was supposed to be happening, but to no avail. I'll keep updates and stuff as well and if ya don't hear any updates than it's nothing lol

Re: Hurricane Irene

I looked at the radar and the center of the storm is still a decent way away from you.
