Hurricane Irene

[Giantsfan1080]

Is anyone going to have to evacuate?

[ElectricEye]

Some of the worst of it is projected to come right over my town. I'm not sure we're going to have to do anything that dramatic or if it will be all that strong by the time it gets here, but there's some work to be done for sure in terms of preparation. Should be interesting. We've never had a hurricane around here in my lifetime.

[Caddy]

Stay safe my American comrades!

[Jensen]

My family and friends on the Outer Banks of NC are probably going to get evacuated. They have already issued a mandatory evac for all visitors. I know Ocracoke already has been evacuated too. I kinda wanna go home this weekend and try to catch some surf since it was so ******* flat this summer, but I doubt they would let anyone on the beach.

[Giantsfan1080]

We're not going to get evacuated but as of now it looks like this is going to hit us head on in Jersey. Hopefully the storm weakens out a lot by then because this isn't going to be pretty with all the flooding we've already had.

[Damix]

Well my weekend plans are shot.

Ah, silly nanny state. They should definitely let you darwin yourself in the pursuit of some mediocre waves.

[Hurricanes25]

Is anyone going to have to evacuate?

I know people who are in Wildwood right now and they were told to leave by Friday morning.

[Giantsfan1080]

Yeah I was just looking at the tracker and it's supposed to go directly over the Jersey Shore. This is really going to suck. I'm supposed to go to Giants/Jets Saturday night but I hope they move the game to an earlier time so I don't have have to worry about getting rained on.

[TitansCJftw]

Obx mandatory evacuations 8 am tommorow and duh jensen best waves are right after the hurricane has passed bro you know this i aint goin nowhere though got my gas tanks filled generator primed and plenty of food and tons of booze **** u irene

[Giantsfan1080]

I'm stocking up with a ton of beer/alcohol Saturday for sure.

[Jensen]

I don't have time after it passes though haha. Me and my buds went out last year when Hurricane Earl was close and I broke my board in half and another one of my buds broke his in half. Got on TV for it too haha. Another one got his leash ripped off and we had to go swim to get his board back, but luckily we got it. If I did go, I'd stay until Tuesday morning so hopefully we can get something going by then.

[Go_Eagles77]

The only earthquake and worst hurricane I ever have and possibly ever will experience occur in the same week. WTF?

Edit: Wasn't effected by the earthquake in any way, but you get the point... still weird.

[tjsunstein]

Mother Nature is being a real ***** with this one. Why couldn't she stay down in the Southeast? We want nothing to do with her up here.

[Giantsfan1080]

I wonder when the last time an earthquake over 5.0 magnitude and a major hurricane has hit the same place within the same week?

[M.O.T.H.]

Yah....quite the interesting week.

[jayceheathman]

It's about time Texas and Florida get to sit back and watch a hurricane go somewhere else. Granted, Texas is in such a drought that we are starting to hope for a hurricane or tropical storm to come.

[M.O.T.H.]

I saw the Giants/Jets game was moved up like 5 hours, because of Irene...here's hoping they'll throw Dallas/Minnesota on tv instead. Wishful thinking, though.

Looks like I need to find another ****** link to that game, which will suck and infuriate me. Assuming I have power...I dont even know when this thing is supposed to hit us.

[ElectricEye]

I will be extremely upset if I have to miss a game because of this.

[M.O.T.H.]

I just hope I dont lose my satellite dish. And well....for no one to get hurt as well.

[Go_Eagles77]

I really hope my carpet doesn't get too wet.

[Scotty D]

I really hope my carpet doesn't get too wet.

That's what she said.

[Go_Eagles77]

That's what she said.

You're welcome.




Okay, I can't even take credit for setting that one up. Touche sir.

[tjsunstein]

I'm not evacuating. Overreaction like always, imo.

[Xiomera]

I'm making preparations here in Michigan .......

[M.O.T.H.]

I'll probably have to move my car....that will be my preparation. I live right next to a big ole river...and technically we're below it, or close it to it, on my low ass street. So what kind of winds are to be expected are they saying for Jersey/PA and what not?

Well if i get d-e-d they told me to leave haha, i stayed for isabel was stuck on my street without power for about 3 days with the trees and what not down all over the place **** it

[Giantsfan1080]

I'm glad they moved up the Giants/Jets game because I wasn't going to go if they left it at 8. The only thing I'm worried about now is the traffic on the way home.

I think you need to shave your V. It's still going to be down in Virginia at that time on Sat.

[Giantsfan1080]

I think you need to shave your V. It's still going to be down in Virginia at that time on Sat.

The hurricane takes up like three states. If it was at 8 we would have got soaked. I still don't know how the traffic will be with people trying to get out of the city around that time. I'm definitely going just not sure how it's going to play out.

Baseball is going to get screwed rescheduling games this late. Yankees wanted to play a double header today in Baltimore because of the weather and the O's said no.

Yeah that whole 5 game set is going to screw things up for the next month.

[Jughead10]

I don't know why the O's just wouldn't play 2 today. What does it matter to them? I guess the tickets sales with the Yankees in town.

[Jvig43]

Lovely, just found out it's going to hit the night classes start. I don't think I was alive the last time Maine got a hurricane.

[Giantsfan1080]

Ticket sales plus I think the O's would take any chance they can to screw the Yanks over. If they can throw you into disarray even a little they're going to take that opportunity and run with it.

I was there the other day, myself. Jets/Bengals. Had a good time. Beautiful stadium...we had nose bleeds, but there isnt a bad seat in that place. Plus, there was no one there and it was raining so we moved down to the lower level in the 2nd half anyway. But yeah, our actual seats were just fine.

I have Giants season tix with my friend but I hate the new stadium. Absolutely can't stand it. Ugly on the outside and boring on the inside. I like the huge TV's but that's about it.

I really liked it, actually. I didnt appreciate paying $50 for parking, and I wouldnt touch any food and or beer items there. But I liked the setup for the most part. Visibility is really the biggest factor for me, and even the cheap seats have a fairly good view of the action.

[J-Mike88]

What the hell?
http://hurricaneirene.com/

I think this one will bounce further to the east and into the Atlantic than people are fearing. But it will still do some serious damage further south than the Capital of the Universe, NYC, where everything is more important.

It's a football stadium, you always have a good view. The seat's are pushed further back than the old stadium. The escalators are a mess. I hate it.

Our seats are pretty good as well for upper tier so I guess I can't complain that much. That places just really irks me for some reason though.

BS. A lot of nose bleed sections are just that....cant see ****.

[M.O.T.H.]

In fairness to myself...I was incredibly drunk during the game. Which is very out of character for me. Typically, I dont drink at all. Just not a big fan of drinking and I hate beer. But, I was with the ole crew and what not, so it happens. So I dont remember a great deal of the actual game itself, aside from sitting in the rain and cheering at a Brian Leonard sighting. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the whole tailgating process...at least, the getting drunk part. The fan interaction and just hanging out is all in good fun, for sure. But, if I watch a football game, or any sporting event, I'd def. prefer to be sober for it. My friends just drink before damn near everythinhg these days, though. No "peer pressure", (lol) but it'd still be awkward being the one clear minded dude in the bunch. But yeah, I find the game much more enjoyable, when I can actually follow what I'm seeing, and not asking, "What quarter is it?", every 5 minutes.

[Forenci]

Sorry guys, it's my fault the north east is getting hit. I leave Connecticut and an earthquake and hurricane hit within a week of each other.

My bad!

[Caddy]

You aren't that important Forenci you pompous ***!

Well I am going to the Metrodome tomorrow.....that has a bunch of nosebleeds. Like everything in the upper deck. Its alright, the tickets were 6 bucks on Stub Hub.

But more importantly, to everyone over in the path of the hurricane, stay safe dudes and dudettes! Kind of a weird week with the earthquake and then a hurricane.

New Mexico State is going to beat Minnesota in football in a couple of weeks.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

So it begins! The rain has started here at the jersey shore. Irene is coming to visit!

[TitansCJftw]

This storm aint **** well no power and phone land lines(my internet ****!) besides that the only thing im bummed about is my generator isnt powerful enough to run my AC

[thenewfeature06]

Any big updates? I am here in MD and it has just been a constant rain since about 1.. not too much wind as of now but I figure that will kick up later.

[Giantsfan1080]

Rain is starting to pick up here in Central Jersey. The worst of it should be while I'm passed out in the middle of the night.

[Jvig43]

Im going to say that I don't think the storm will be half as bad up in Maine as everyone says it will be.

[Brent]

hurricane par-tay!

[Giantsfan1080]

If by par-tay you man drinking by myself then this is a rager right now.

[Brent]

If by par-tay you man drinking by myself then this is a rager right now.
When Hurricane Ike struck Texas a few years back, A&M got hit with a ridiculous storm front, so before it hit (it was pretty awesome when the skies where damn-near black and rolling in) me and a roommate bought a whole lot of booze and parked our cars in the garage (which was significant since the doors weren't hooked to an automatic opener) and then raged all night as trees around the block were coming down and etc.

[Giantsfan1080]

There are tornadoes starting to touch down in Jersey so I should probably be more vigilant. Drinking through this just makes the most sense though.

[Brent]

remember, if a tornado comes, get into an interior closet or room, and pull a mattress over you. be careful not to spill the booze.

[Giantsfan1080]

I'm in my sort of basement right now. The best thing is as soon as I typed that they issued a tornado warning in my area until 11:30. I can deal with a hurricane but I can't deal with a tornado inside a hurricane. That's just God cheating as far as I'm concerned.

Drinks will never be spilled tonight.

[M.O.T.H.]

It's tame out there now...been raining for hours, not too windy yet. I guess it's supposed to hit here between 2-4 am. Weather.com is saying nothing too bad at all...like 30-35 MPH winds and 2 inches of rain.

Where in Jersey are you? We're supposed to get 7-12 inches of rain plus 75-80 MPH winds. My power just went out for about 5 minutes already as well.

[M.O.T.H.]

Oh ok so a little mountain cover. We're getting hammered in Central NJ right now already.

[Hurricanes25]

Lots of rain and wind here in Staten Island (just south of Manhattan). The hurricane is not supposed to run in for another few hours so it looks like it's going to be really bad.

[fischbowl]

I live close to the East River, so I had to evacuate my apartment, but I still have power here in Long Island, which of course is excellent. I just took a walk around outside and its ******* awesome. Never been in a hurricane before.

[M.O.T.H.]

I guess they pushed its arrival back to 5 am in my area. Its slowed down a lot, it has been very "mild" here. No different than your average thunder storm.

[Go_Eagles77]

Yeah, it's really calm here too.

[tjsunstein]

Irene was softer than a pillow.

[M.O.T.H.]

Yeah...we never got it here.

[Hurricanes25]

Some flooding in NYC but overall, the media made a much bigger deal of it. I know there are a lot of power outages in Jersey though.

[Jughead10]

Yeah my parents were told not to expect their power back until Tuesday.

[MaxV]

Coney Island was suppose to be a major flood zone.

Just a couple of puddles here and there that have already dried out.

[Forenci]

Is GF okay? Haven't heard from him in a while. :(

[Giantsfan1080]

Is GF okay? Haven't heard from him in a while. :(

I'm here!! Power was fine the whole time but then the last 5 hours it went out. Weird.

[Forenci]

I'm here!! Power was fine the whole time but then the last 5 hours it went out. Weird.

Yay! I was worried. :(

How bad did it get for you guys? My parents both in in south eastern CT and they said it was just a bit of wind and a little rain, nothing serious.

[Hurricanes25]

I don't know if anyone on here is from Vermont but I heard they got hit really hard. A lot of floods.

[Wally03]

I don't know if anyone on here is from Vermont but I heard they got hit really hard. A lot of floods.

Vermont is a total mess. The southeast part of Vermont has massive flooding that washed away numerous bridges, historic covered bridges, and a few houses to top it all off. We got fairly lucky where in I live in southwest Vermont as we definitely have some rivers that rose above their banks but overall it pales in comparison to what the people down in Brattleboro and Wilmington areas are experiencing.

[Giantsfan1080]

Yay! I was worried. :(

How bad did it get for you guys? My parents both in in south eastern CT and they said it was just a bit of wind and a little rain, nothing serious.

It was really windy and we got a ton of rain. There is not much flooding within 5-10 minutes of me but a ton of other places had a lot of flooding. It just took 3 hours to get to work when it usually takes 50-60 minutes.

[scottyboy]

yea, rain rain everywhere. and the power outages were the biggest thing. lights were out, stores. actually, pretty much everywhere surrounding me in a 10 mile radius was/is without power...except for me! hooray

[Giantsfan1080]

My friend at work wont get her power back until Sept 4.

[scottyboy]

My friend at work wont get her power back until Sept 4.

wow, that's insane. we had a couple outages that last no longer than a minute.
on other news, Rt. 18 up at Rutgers is flooded causing mass chaos for move-in day and everyone else moving up there.
good thing I dont plan on going up til Wednesday

Yeah I saw some pictures yesterday and it's ridiculous there. As long as it's fine by Thursday I'll be happy.

[ElectricEye]

The storm wasn't so bad at all here after less than optimistic projections for our area. We're just starting to get power and services up today though. Really nothing bad aside from soul crushing boredom. Can't say the same for some of the places near here though, lot's of property damage around these parts.

Havent seen you playing Deus Ex or on here...You had me worried, EE. :)

[CashmoneyDrew]

My professor is from Vermont and he was a little upset with how much they got tore up. Said a lot of their roads and bridges are washed out.

[Brent]

washed out.
did he say "wershed" instead of washed?

[eaglesalltheway]

I went for a walk with two of my friends starting around 11:30 on Saturday, and was out until 3, when it actually started to get windy. As we were walking, we saw the substation blow up that powers Emmaus, and got to watch most of my town go dark at about midnight. That was pretty cool, and walking into the wind with the rain stinging a bit (moreso around 2:30-3:00 am where I am) was real fun. Besides the power out for about 16 hours here, all we had to worry about was some localized flooding. My uncle and his neighbors got a few feet of water in their basement fromt he river by his house, but the only other problems were with downed trees and branches. There are still a few people around here that are without power, but should get it back sometime today or tomorrow.

[ElectricEye]

Havent seen you playing Deus Ex or on here...You had me worried, EE. :)

I lost so much time on that! I'm pretty pissed. Oh well. I think I'm close to beating it. Could probably do it this sitting, but I'm going to wait for the night when things get quiet in order to take it in better haha.

[CashmoneyDrew]

did he say "wershed" instead of washed?

I don't pay attention that closely but probably not.

He has real problems saying "quarter" though. And every time we make fun of him for it he tells us to shut the **** up and calls us little pricks.

[TimD]

obama is visiting paterson, nj tomorrow to survey the damage

[eaglesalltheway]

I worked near Paterson last year when they had that flood, and that was some incredible stuff to see. One of the highways goes through what normally is woods, but the whole forest area was under at least a foot or two of water, and they say its worse this time from what I hear, I can't imagine it being worse. It's just insane for me to try to figure out just how much water has to be there still.

[Ronken]

break safe my American assembly!
