You boys keep your heads down and stay safe.....I was wondering if it was going to hit Florida or further up the East coast. Either way hope any in it's path are prepaired and stay safe.

Chris

[flabum1017]

They keep moving the track furter east, should miss ya but keep an eye on it, these things have a mind of their own............

[Storz]

The current path is a direct hit where my parents live in the OBX!

[Wingnut0302]

I just seen they're forecasting it to shoot it up through cape may NJ which is about 60 miles east of me.......this should be fun

[resqu-u]

Watching the news this morning it looks like Bud and I will be battening down the hatches! Hope she decides to add a little more west in her track or we are getting creamed,.

[flabum1017]

Watching the news this morning it looks like Bud and I will be battening down the hatches! Hope she decides to add a little more west in her track or we are getting creamed,. You mean go further east....... every day they put the track further east..... your'e going to feel her no matter what unless she decides not to turn until she passes Florida which is possible too...... gotta keep watching this monster, she hasn't turned yet.............

[Storz]

Yeah its all about the turn for sure, a few degrees intially makes a huge difference further up the coast.

[HStream1]

Watching the news this morning it looks like Bud and I will be battening down the hatches! Hope she decides to add a little more west in her track or we are getting creamed,.

Roger that Shane. Last track was almost a direct hit on Hatteras. Typical because Hatteras is the closest point to the Gulf Stream on the East Coast. The hope for us is that it makes the leap over to Gulf Stream into the Cold labradore Current waters and fizzles out. Maybe that Low pressure coming in from the west will help push it out.

Sorry you missed Sunday it was a great day on the water. Any sign of your pet snake again?

[specboatops]

Bud, watch your 6 with this storm and stay safe.............. you need anything brotha....you let me know !

Chris

[HStream1]

Thanks Chris!!! You know? What means more to me than anything is I know you didn't just post that. I know you actually mean it :cheers:.

[INXS]

I just heard from an expert, says the others are using wrong data, UK has the best tracking and predicts a direct hit to AC, NYC, And LI.

http://jefferson.patch.com/articles/irene-tracks-farther-east-in-forecast-officials-urge-preparation-5

Also winds my hit 150 MPH, perfect conditions for growing!

[resqu-u]

Yep, meant to say go East and not further West. We're hoping for the best but hopefully prep'd for the worst. I haven't done a major storm in a long while and am in no hurry now. Bud when this thing passes we'll meet up for a clean up session around the houses.

[RobF]

You mean go further east....... every day they put the track further east..... your'e going to feel her no matter what unless she decides not to turn until she passes Florida which is possible too...... gotta keep watching this monster, she hasn't turned yet.............


Yeah its all about the turn for sure, a few degrees intially makes a huge difference further up the coast.

the longer it stays over water the stronger it will stay, its at 200 miles wide right now so if this thing doesnt go a little west to weaken we are looking at a nasty situation.

[Storz]

Most recent path has it moved back to the west, making a direct hit on the OBX

[HStream1]

Yep. North Carolina (Hatteras) it is on a direct path to hit the heel of the boot as a Cat 3. South Eastern Virginia will receive part of the blunt also as a Cat 2. From Virginia on (Eastern Shore) it will fizzle to a Cat 1 and then a tropical storm.

Assuming it maintains it's current path.

All we can hope for is a westerly Low come across and push it over the warm gulf stream waters into the cool labradore currents and it will fizzle taking a hard right out to sea.

[WATERWINGS]

My main sweat is the storm surge...any word on that yet?

[Storz]

Mandatory evac of Dare county now, tourists and residents. I'll see if I can find you some storm surge info. (its what I do for a living btw)

[Storz]

Storm surge probabilities, be sure to use the drop down box to select the different levels

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/psurgegraphics_at4.shtml?gm

[HStream1]

Currituck county just issued a Evacuation order for all visitors. Anyone that evacuates cannot reenter without proof of ownership/residence etc.

[specboatops]

Man I hope you guys weather this thing ok.
Bud, your comment on my last post..... Spot On Brotha:thumbsup: we are ALL watching this and hoping for the best for you guys. Keep us updated as storm draws closer..........


Chris

[HStream1]

So I go to the post office to mail a letter. I decide to swing by the local beer store. No beer or wine sales effective 11:00 a.m. this morning. But you can go to the local ABC store (Government controlled) and buy Liquor?????????????????????????? WTF. I don't drink Liquor.

So the owner of the store who knows me well. says: Bud they told me I couldn't sell it but they didn't tell me I couldn't give it away :cool:. Come around back just incase and get all you want.

Two cases later and I'm on my way home. Heck I don't drink any during the week anyway. So I think with the 24 I already had + the two 18 packs I'll be OK :D.

[beer30]

On the bright side you get presents from the sea

241394


then you have the clean up. The county was great in that they took away the trash. We also had the neighborhood protected 24 7 for about a month, they check everybody in and out. 241393

Did your insurance take care of it? How much hassle was that? Chuck

[BoatGoFaster1]

Did your insurance take care of it? How much hassle was that? Chuck


NO, NO and no.

Piers arent covered

We did not have house damage, we sit up higher. So we did not have any insurance claims.

There was a lot of houses in the area that got destroyed. If they had flood insurance , they found out its a pain in the butt. Some people were in trailers for years trying to settle.

If the water came up 4 feet in your house, they only covered 4 feet of drywall. You could google "Isabel Bowleys quarters flood insurance problems". It was a real mess for the people affected. On our road, just past my house the elevation dips down, there was homes with the 1st floor under water. Very bad .

[JR IN JAX]

I really hope it does not come anywhere near NYC. If it even rains at all there, Obama will award them a trillion taxpayer dollars to the Police, Fire and other unions [along with all of their relatives] and put them on permenant disabilities. You never see anything like that in the "red" states [except New Orleans], we just clean up and go back to work...

OK, the rain just started. Let's see how it goes....

I cerntally didn't want to splinter this information. I'm gonna read the new stuff and probably just delete the one I started. god bless all you guys, I belive you've got a few odd weeks ahead. fun out and standing by :thumbsup:

Joe I thought u quit textin me cause your power went out, guess you lost your phone in the in one of the hoes. Are you calling her Irene?

[HStream1]

From the looks of everything right now WE GOT LUCKY!!!!!!!

Reduced to a Cat 1. Just hit land fall south of Wilmington, NC.

I'm about 200 or so miles north of Wilmington on the coast. Haven't seen the worst yet but shouldn't be all that bad. :)

[vnemous]

Im thinking its a lot of hype and isnt gonna be any different than a good nor easter. Bud take care.

Chris

[patchesII]

Yes they are. I heard somebody say last night it could be the storm of the century. Give me a break. A 4-8 ft storm surge? Katrina hit Gulfport with something like a 27 ft surge. Not to mention Rita which was stronger than Katrina and Ike was pretty bad. I know it's still a dangerous storm but they're blowing it way out of proportion

[rock]

Spectacular sells. My boy and grandkids live about 200 miles inland in NC. Hope it fizzles to nothing.

Rock

[HStream1]

Typically if it tracks like it is. It will fizzle. Our inland waters have cooled alot over the last two weeks. It will cross land, then water , land, water etc.

Usually that takes the umph out of em.

Now if it starts to track North West, it will be a different story. This area of the coast doesn't fair well with catching the easterly feeder band from a storm when it gets to the west of the inland water ways. It's more about water damage than wind at that point.

On the other hand if it starts to track North East back out to sea it could build again. I saw Dennis do exactly that in 99. It actually went out and came back in 5 times in three days.

Bellhaven, NC received alot of damage, lost roofs etc. but it was due to Tornado's. So they are a threat as well.

[j_martin]

Hatteras must be pretty interesting about now.

[mr fun]

Yes they are. I heard somebody say last night it could be the storm of the century. Give me a break. A 4-8 ft storm surge? Katrina hit Gulfport with something like a 27 ft surge.

about 65,000,000 people will be affected, and alot of associated problems that they are not accustumed to think of. no electricity for a few weeks is an absolute thrill in 90' temps :D

That is good! Yea, Cat 1 isn't bad at all. I've been through one 10 miles from the coast and was 10 miles from the center. We did drink plenty of beer though! ;)

Listening the the media on the tube though, you'd think all of NYC is going to flood. :rolleyes:

[HStream1]

Hatteras must be pretty interesting about now.

Actually it is. The eye is just now approaching. But they haven't seen any winds higher that 85.

[mr fun]

reporting 30-40' waves, surge is expected to be 15'. the storm was a cat 3 up until a little while ago, the thing is the size of it, 650 mi across, thats alot of water. thats like from miami to atlanta. they expect in a few more hours the whole island to go under water.

Sorry but I am located no more than 35 miles from Hatteras as the crow flies. Actually have a Cousin that lives in Buxton. As of right now Hatteras is without power. Pea Island is washed out (Typical for a Hurricane of any size. Nags Head just across the Herbert C Bonner Bridge is seeing winds of about 60.

The storm has been a cat 1 for at least 5 hours or better :rolleyes:.

So who ever that Fox reporter is, is FOS.

[HStream1]

The most interesting thing happening right now is. There is a sail boat with two people aboard anchored 400 yards off Ocean View around 9th view street :eek::rolleyes::rolleyes:. Rumor has it they were trying to get in last night and lost their engine??????? But no one ever heard a peep from them via UHF/VHF.

For those of you that don't know. Ocean View at 9th is with in a stones throw to the little Creek Amphib base.

I believe they should be awarded the Dumb Ass's of the year award.

[patchesII]

Like I said, I know it's still a hurricane but I think they have way overblown this one. The problem with crying wolf is next time around people are less likely to listen to you. I'm sure this thing will lose alot of steam by the time it makes it to New York

[HStream1]

:iagree: Erik. You are exactly right.

Blowboaters were never the smartest of people........ how deep is it where they are at? will they be banging bottom for a while?

[HStream1]

High tide and they are 400 yards off shore. biggest threat is the fishing pier they might get drug into once the storm intensify's in Ocean View about 1 1/2 hrs from now.

[HStream1]

The Dumb asses have been recued from the boat. No one giving details yet. Why? Where etc.

[Ted Stryker]

Cold water be the castration of hurricanes, Good news for the yankee states... I know the power loss and flooding will suck for sure, but at least the place will be recognizable aftwerward...

[HStream1]

OK Dum ass's of the year award Sail Boaters update. Like I mentioned earlier they have been rescued, A man, Woman and a cat. They decided to depart Friday Night :rolleyes: in a attempt to go to Annapolis Maryland to get away from the Huricane :confused:.

granted andrew was a 5, we found a dolphin in the yard a mile from the water, and 34 miles closer to the water than where you are. after that hell for weeks, I guess I don't second guess ole momma nature. cat 1 for 5 hrs, but for a week previously it was 2-3, for some reason that momentum is not something I would want to be in front of. I hope your right, but being complacient will get you kilt just as quick, 3 deaths so far, 2 from falling trees, 1 heart attack. say a prayer, I am. fun out :cheers:

[HStream1]

I'm sorry you missed the point of my return post. It was to inform that the Fox reporter (as you posted) was incorrect. If he was even on the outerbanks (which I doubt) his information was most likely third hand and hyped just like most of this has been.

As far as my statement pertaining to where I live. I clearly said I live within 35 miles of Hatteras (as the crow flies). I actually live within (from my front porch) eye distance of the Currituck Sound. After that 4 mile body there is the Atlantic Ocean.

I live here you don't. I have first hand information.

As far as hurricanes. I take them all seriously. I've seen the weak turn to Bad and the Bad turn to weak. And the bad stay bad and get Badder.

As far as comparing Andrew to Irene??? Well thats like comparing Apples to Pomagranitrs.

Hope this clears up any confusion you may have.

Peace Bro. Feel free to come join me for a Beer :cheers:

Rain started a few hours ago here,wind is picking up also,the rivers look ok for right now,back road I was just on was begining to flood out in a few spots.....

[Storz]

Knee deep water in my parents first floor (garage) on Colington Island, Kill Devil Hills, NC. Massive flooding there. Luckily their house is up on stilts, but the water is coming up the stairs. Dads boat is going to be floating on the trailer soon.

[jphii]

I just got power back, been out since 8 this morning. This storm did more damage than Dennis & Floyd in '99. Been an interesting day....

[Wingnut0302]

Glad to hear your ok joe

Hope the power goes out soon here.

Between MOMMY GOVERNMENT calling on the phone, and absurd alerts on the tv (making it unwatchable), I'd rather sit in the dark and just hear the wind.

Looks like some inland areas got it worse than the coast. Was it more due to Water than wind Joe?

I do know that the OBX was doing pretty good until It (Irene) decided to stall and sit in the middle of the pamplico sound for about two to three hours before it started moving again.

I did loose 1/3 of the roof on my powder coat shop. Lost power about 6:00 p.m yesterday evening and still don't have it back.
I LOVE MY GENERATOR!!!!!!!

Power Grids are all messed up here. Across the Soy Bean field 1200 acres. They have power and never lost it:confused:.

Jim Cantore is visibly disappointed like I've never seen. I would think somebody higher up will say something to him about it. It's pretty lame for him to act like that

I was hoping for some looting from our Illegals and Ubangies. I needed to run a few clips just for kicks and giggles. But that was just another dissapointment.

They have a finished garage and second "outdoor" kitchen on the first level. Luckily the house is on stilts and the main living area stayed high and dry. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get some. The OBX took a beating

[beer30]

We made out great here:thumbsup:. Water came up, but no worst then a bad high tide. Surge came at dead low tide and by the second high tide the wind had already turned around and was blowing out of the NW.;) Chuck

[afr]

anyone hear from alby yet from what i see on the news the catskills is really flooded

[transomstand]

Have not heard from him since Saturday. His house won't be under water, but he lives on a hill side, so hopefully he didn't get washed down the hill.

Power is out everywhere, so communication will be difficult.

We got about 5 1/2" of rain around Albany, NY. Some flooding, a land slide up in Troy, a lot of roads wash outs. Durham which is abou half between Alby and I got 14 1/2":eek: LOTS of serious flooding down around Alby's area. Lost power about 8:30PM and still waiting on that to come back. Thank god for generators!!!:cool:

Back to normal here in Hertford. Lots of trees down in my area, we lost 3 but none on the house. Lost power for 24 hours, blown transformer, but overall we did good thanks to the generator. It saved my butt more than once in Puerto Rico and a few months back in the states and it's still earning it's keep, the beer stayed cold :cheers:

My parents backyard at about 7pm Saturday night, you can see his boat across the 'canal' with the blue cover. The water in this picture is about 6-7 feet higher than it normally is. The tops of those posts you can see near his lift are about chest height when standing on the dock, and the dock is usually about 3-4 feet above the water level in the canal.

Have not heard from him since Saturday. His house won't be under water, but he lives on a hill side, so hopefully he didn't get washed down the hill.

Power is out everywhere, so communication will be difficult.Alby is alive and well ,I talked to his mother this morning . She said he lost internet

Great to hear that dude...mean it..been though some disasters my end too, WA state. Had a massive .."Pineapple express", here like a firehouse on us, ocaen water, jet stream, rain for a good month +1/2. Lost 38 houses up on the hill. Land slide, slow. We are a 600 private HOA, end the peninsula, got ZERO help from the state, but in there wisdom, put a 1000 year moratorium, and new building any living house. Early 2000's, and ..either after, or before, our 6.8 earthquake, much structure house damage. Thing is, them wimpy Libs, get complacent, aint got a clue to how the world works, and aint got a damn thing to do with the gov. The "Oh poor me?" BULL PUPPY PIES. hate to break the news here, but life can sure get wild, at times, and ..(oh hell, be a good "Boyscout"...PREPARE WORST, HOPE FOR THE BEST. Heres a pic one our windstorms, off the ocean, west coast. We only got one road out here, and this one was not usable. For a day or so. Buddy mine works power CO, lives here here, "Lineman", always has the bucket trunk with him. Look bad, in the pic? BS, they bust there ass, and it was fixed in ONE DAY! AND, if any do a "Cabo", March vacation? Its ALL THE POWER WORKERS, MOTELS BOOKED YEARLY, WHEN STORMS QUIT HERE..."party time!". And any bitch the electric power bills? Try it without any. Anyway, glad ya doing OK buddy boy, and stay strong....it the way to survive life. Be well, Robby241732
