Hurricane Irene

[76Red18]

Shoot Denny, that Seafari is your hurricane kit!!

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

Richard,
You're right, it IS my hurricane kit! 35 gallons of gas for truck, 6 gallons of water, shower, sink, propane stove, head, TV, bug proof cabin, and comfortable bunk that's cooler than my house is at night W/O AC! Harry and I lived on it for 3 days on the St. Johns River trip, so I figure I can live on it for 6 days while my wife stays with daughter who has underground utilities and rarely loses power! Only problem is all the racket from neighborhood generators! Need to find a propane powered refrigerator like my grandparents used to have on their ranch in New Mexico; those things will run forever on a small jug of propane! Seems dumb to run a generator just to keep your beer cold! Denny

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

OK, Boys & girls of CSC...
Being a life long Florida cracker this storm would be a cake
walk for us.. Not to say that I take any Hurricane any
less serious, of which I prepare better then any boyscout would!! Please be safe, do nothing dumb or stupid because
those dad-gum 100 mph flying coconuts are a real pain in the head...

If any of our fellow CSC brethern are in real need I'm willing to come help out if you need it! NO BS!!
I have a spare 6500 watt portable generator that I could
get fairly quick to NC if you need it or any other supplies that you may need, just say the word!!!

Be safe guys, this is a rare storm for those in the NE!!

See ya, Ken
