Re: Hurricane Irene
Thats the way to do it. Be prepared to not rely on anyone but yourselves and you neighbors!! After your first storm you become a little closer to your neighbors. One thing to note, I ran out of jerry canned fuel on the 4th day and siphoned pre mix out of my boat for the next 10. Small engines run fine on pre mix. Peanutbutter and jelly dominate my survival kit. I live on high ground and get water from a well, so water isn't an issue.
Good luck to all!!

Re: Hurricane Irene
Hello Everyone!!
Greetings from sunny Sayville, on the south shore of Long Island. It is now 5:45 pm. Light breeze with gentle warm summer shower. Took boat out this AM in Dense fog and light rain and no wind.. Checked out Ocean at Schinnecock Inlet did not look that bad, one hour later I could hear surf from the dock, one mile away. Local gas stations OUT OF GAS last night around 9PM. Expecting delivery 4PM today. Ice in very short supply. If this storm materializes as predicted I would anticipate a break thru of the barrier beach. This morning when I took the boat out Dune Road had spots with 1" of water and rising. Have necessary supplies on hand and look forward to seeing what the morrow brings. Stay safe The Old Timer

Re: 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.

Re: Hurricane Irene
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!

Re: Hurricane Irene
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

Re: Hurricane Irene
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
