2011 Hurricane Season Thread

[Furtherman]

NOAA hurricane outlook indicates an above-normal Atlantic season (http://www.globalsurfnews.com/news.asp?Id_news=51856)

Across the entire Atlantic Basin for the six-month season, which begins June 1, NOAA is predicting the following ranges this year:

12 to 18 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which:
6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including:
3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher)

Each of these ranges has a 70 percent likelihood, and indicate that activity will exceed the seasonal average of 11 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes.

“The United States was fortunate last year. Winds steered most of the season’s tropical storms and all hurricanes away from our coastlines,” said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “However we can’t count on luck to get us through this season. We need to be prepared, especially with this above-normal outlook.”

[Furtherman]

Come on Irene.

Emergency officials from Florida to the Carolinas were closely watching Irene Tuesday as the first hurricane to seriously threaten the U.S. in three years churned over energizing tropical waters. The storm has already cut a destructive path through the Caribbean.

Forecasters say the hurricane could grow to a monstrous Category 4 storm with winds of more than 131 mph before it's predicted to come ashore this weekend on the U.S. mainland. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami expected Irene to reach Category 3 strength on Tuesday, said spokesman Dennis Feltgen.

Officials could begin issuing watches for parts of the U.S. mainland later in the day. Because the storm is so large, Florida could begin feeling some effects from the storm late Wednesday.

Current government models have the storm's outer bands sweeping Florida late this week before it takes aim at the Carolinas this weekend, though forecasters caution that predictions made days in advance can be off by hundreds of miles. Georgia is also likely to be affected.


The last hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. was Ike, which pounded Texas in 2008.

Super, Opie brings one of these fucking things every time he visits the Carolina's. Time to stock up on alcohol and batten down the hatches.

Irene could hit Category 4 today.

NYC is bracing for impact.

My town's mayor told people that it might be a good idea to get out of town due to flooding.

We are going to be clamoring to get up to the Heights!

If it stays on track I'm actually gonna bail for that reason (was thinking maybe either that or at least send off the Wife and baby with the car, the dog, the shotty and I will guard the abode ;-). We have a garage spot but that means dick if it winds up flooding. We actually just increased our homeowners insurance cause of the new addition so that is at least some relief!

Did you get the extra Flood insurance rider?

[Earlshog]

Did you get the extra Flood insurance rider?


Yeah its mandatory, the bank makes us carry cause we live in a flood zone (it's such a scam cause we live on the fourth story, if it ever flooded up there it would mean Manhattan was under water and the world as we know it was ending). The building management co. has a separate flood insurance policy for all the common areas i.e. the garage.

[Misteriosa]

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a mandatory evacuation order for low-lying areas, including Battery Park City and Coney Island, as local trains, buses and subways in the tri-state area prepared to shut tomorrow in advance of Hurricane Irene’s approach.

All New Jersey rail service will be suspended from noon tomorrow, Governor Chris Christie said at a press conference today. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the Metropolitan Transit Authority will institute a system-wide shutdown of trains and buses starting at about noon local time. The suspension will include subways, buses, the Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad and Access-A-Ride.

i didnt have to, and most people around where i am wont have to. my boss said he lives 3 blocks from his inlaws and they were evacuated and he wasnt so they came to his house and now he wants to be evacuated

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Talked to a friend and he lives on the island. So far only the south shore has to evacuate

[Judge Smails]

I went to the grocery store yesterday to do my usual Friday shopping. What a fucking mistake! I guess these people are planning to be stuck in their houses for at least a week. Despite the crazy crowds, the store still seemed to be reasonably well stocked except for the bakery and donut section which was cleaned out.

So, in the event of a breakdown in social order and supply lines - be sure you are well stocked with bear claws and Boston Creams.

actually hurricanes bring tornadoes by the nature of it. there was one in NC, virginia and delaware so far. thats not just a scare thing. When the thing hits land while its rotating, the bottom slows down before the top does and it can spin of twisters

[Judge Smails]

These news reports are full of shit.


A local news reporter from Washington, D.C. ended up getting covered in what is probably the remnants of raw sewage as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md.

WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him.

Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland

He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That "organic material" was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm.

"It doesn't taste great," he said.

He said it had a sandy consistency and added, "I can tell you first-hand, it doesn't smell great."

The foam is often a toxic mix of pollution and cyanobacteria

The results are back from the lab so soon???

IT'S FUCKING SEAFOAM! You won't know what's in it until you test it. It could have shit in it, but most likely it's just normal seafoam.

For real. When I go I stay further north at the start of the boardwalk, the beach isnt nearly as wide there.

Also, this was 2 hours later on New Jersey Ave. (About 6 blocks from the boardwalk)

3 things:

Katia is a sexy name whether for a hurricane or some chick walking down the street.

2: I'm getting some flooding in my basement, but it's not close to an inch yet and there's not much I can do at the moment.

3: I don't know if this makes any sense, but I went outside a few minutes ago to see how it was and with the rain and wind I got the scent of the ocean. Is this common for a hurricane? I'm not a costal town, but the ocean/bay is only a good 5 minutes away. It just kind of confused me.

i was referring to the race, not the town of bristol. i didnt even know there was a town bristol, i thought that was just the track name. But sure, bring up that bus, im gonna bring some of my buddies from Newark. it will be fun

[CountryBob]

Nah, I really hate when all these fucking animals come to my town and completely destroy everything but it generates so much money that it is considered a blessing. No disrespect to anyone who has suffered loss during the hurricane but I was expecting more destruction due to the fucking media and their doom and gloom predictions.

[Snacks]

NY news stations are just hurting and trying so hard for a huge story and by god if there isnt a truly tragic story they will make every story sound HUGE. I have been watching the news on and off since 8 this morning and the smallest of trees or flooding they make it sound like we are New Orleans and this is Katrina. Its sad how the media needs to make everything seem bigger and worse then it is!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

We were lucky here. Some scattered downed tree limbs, no flooding in my area. Still have power. Talked to my parents in Westchester , some towns by the Saw Mill pkwy have massive flooding

saw mill is the worst for flooding. here's some pics from VE Macy park off it after just heavy rains (not from this hurricane):

Looks like its not going to be pretty in those towns like Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry , Greenburgh and Elmsford


I think areas like Crestwood and Tuckahoe by the Bx River Pkwy will be affected too

Keyword is missing. "BOARDWALK". The Spring Lake BOARDWALK is destroyed.

That's good to hear (by comparison).

[spoon]

i think he was callin you a homo for bragging about how quickly you can pack a travel bag

rightfully so

and why did he need this "go bag"?

were you spotting Matty? is everything ok down there? is the baby coming early?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

There are 700K without power in CT. We seem to have been spared this time. We did have a lot more damage in my area when we had that 2 day Noreaster back in March of 2010

I did hear that parts of the merritt have downed trees so its either taking 95 or the post road to work tomorrow

[Furtherman]

Most of Hoboken was underwater this morning. No power most of the day too. Power is back and a lot of he water is draining, but will be around for another day or so.

[A.J.]

It really wasn't that bad in Northern VA, rain-wise but the wind was something. A couple of trees went down next to my building. No damage or loss of power thankfully.

I hope the rest of you fared well.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Not really a travel bag, basically a "let's get this shit if we need to get out of here" bag. When the Emergency Broadcast System says "tornado warning" and the town I live in, I'm not exactly going to say "oh, the news is overhyping this shit".

If you think it's dumb because I'm prepared, so be it. But grabbing both financial, recordkeeping, and personal stuff that may not be easily replaced and having it ready to go is not something I'd feel bad about.

na fuck that shit .... u need to have that shit on the ready ... not even for hurricane fuck what if a fire breaks out ... boom you have that shit read to go

[sailor]

na fuck that shit .... u need to have that shit on the ready ... not even for hurricane fuck what if a fire breaks out ... boom you have that shit read to go

yeah, it's not a go bag if you need to get it ready. that's just called packing.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Well, the original go bag had all the stuff that I thought I would need in case of a fire - mainly stuff that would be a bitch to replace.

But then the word "tornado" entered the picture and that changed things.


Some of the stuff I didn't put in the bag because I figured there would be archives of it off-site from my house. So if there was a localized problem at the house, we'd be OK.

But as I was getting all the stuff ready to go, I realized that a tornado could take out the businesses where I have my stuff archived, so I figured I'd need that as well. That's where the "packing" in four minutes came into play.

So next time, if there's an issue, and there's a warning, the entire family can be out of the house within 5 minutes and on the road.

[fezident]

No power at my chick's place in Stamford. The candles and silence is really nice.
Throwing out all the groceries we bought TODAY .... not so much.

[StanUpshaw]

What are you throwing out and why not wait until it actually goes bad?

[keithy_19]

I was about to take two ambien and call it a day when the power came back on. Some people yelled in the streets. Apparently 18 hours of no electricity weighs on a person.

[hanso]

There are lots of trees in Vermont. There's your problem right there.

[Justice4all]

It seems that every time there's a big storm that boardwalk is destroyed.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

MSNBC having Ray Nagin as an evacuation expert. That was the most laughable part of Irene

[TripleSkeet]

I lost power this morning. Not because of the hurricane but because of a fucking squirrel. Usually it would take about 2 hours for the guy to get here and 10 minutes to fix it. I'm on hour 14 and I'm turning into Homer Simpson from the No Beer and No TV make Homer go crazy episode.

[Snoogans]

gonna be a bit before Liberty National in Jersey City hosts another Barclays:

Mike Bloomberg epitomizes the word gringo

Holy shit he butchered the Spanish language

Minor water damage to my house, lost power for a little while.

But the big story from my town: Sebastian Bach's Lincroft home knocked off foundation, flooded by Irene (http://www.nj.com/entertainment/celebrities/index.ssf/2011/08/sebastian_bachs_lincroft_home.html)

[TripleSkeet]

this has happened before/often? what?

It happens around here all the time. Squirrels fuck around with the transformer on the top of the pole and gets fried. All they have to do is climb up the pole and flip a switch basically. Power went back on today at 4:30am.

I'm still wondering why with the flooding warnings why he didn't take simple precautions to protect stuff like master tapes. It literally would have taken maybe an hour or two AT MOST to move all the stuff from the basement that couldn't be replaced to a higher levels. (Well, the Kiss stuff may nit have been easy, but tapes and memorabilia would have)

Oh wait, it's Sebastian Bach. One of the most arrogant, egotistical people in rock. Never mind.

[sailor]

Needed a bigger go bag.

Ha, yeah one would think he'd want to protect stuff like that. I ride my bike past that reservoir, it is literally right across the street from his house.

I drove through the town next to mine which was hit incredibly hard by the storm. It was eerie seeing every house with massive piles of stuff on the curb.

It doensn't look like the water is deep enough, because you can still see the crosswalk markings and stuff under the water. How deep would the water need to be?

not sure but even though u see the markings the water is still pretty deep and i think jet skis barely go below the surface


i could be wrong but thats my assessment from just watching the video

either that or he seriously fucked up the underside of the jetski
