Hurricane Irene

Yeah, my in-laws live out there and they boarded up their store in Sag Harbor for the first time ever. They are at their house in East Hampton just waiting for the fun to start. You take care and be careful.

Well, it's about 7:40 p.m. and the winds are higher than they have been all day. Gusting around 70-75 at times. All is still well on the home front. The authorities advised everyone to stay home so, we are. An 11 year old child was killed in a car wreck in eastern NC today. I'll be getting out tomorrow to check on things in town and will update my findings. To all our northern brothers, get your s--t together. We've been pounded with rain and it doesn't look like Irene is finished dumping. Take care you all!

Looks like a big rain event now. It was nice to see the upper level wind shear show white bands.

I have a good report from Wilmington as things these go.

Looks like high tide up north.

Be good,
Us

Boo,
Glad to hear you've survived OK! Do you still have power?! Just be careful getting out afterwards; as Tomfl said, the aftermath can be worse than the storm itself! Seems like these storms bring out the best in some folks and the worst in others! Take care and stay safe! Denny
