Tropical Storm Irene has developed from Invest 97 in the Western Atlantic Ocean, east of the Leeward Islands.
Buoy Data:
Caribbean Sea
Florida
We are "on guard" up here in the People's Republik of Connecticut... looks like we may be in Irene's crosshairs. Joe Bastardi (of whatever weather outfit he works for now) said last night on O'Reilly that Irene looks a lot like Hurricane Gloria of 1985, only worse. My sister and her husband live near Providence on Greenwich Bay (off Narragansett Bay). I'm worried about them...
Generators flying off the shelves here in Connecticut, per WTIC radio...
Looking forward to hanging out with you over the weekend!
So, has the Navy relocated from Norfolk? I hear that’s a sure sign of possible weather-related problems.
Wow, I hope she won’t mind possibly being without power or water for a week or two! Does she mind if she’s stuck there for a long while?
Yes, the fleet has been ordered out to see from Norfolk.
I see you live in NY. Depending where, you might need to get over here if Irene is headed your way.
I think we are in for a loooooooooooooooooooooong weekend.
Jeff Masters really spells it out in his analysis. Particularly disturbing info about the highest tides of the year occurring during the same time.
Trust me, the first time the winds kick up and rattle the windows, my mother will be screeching to get out of there. Those folks don't have a clue what they are in for with my mother hunkered down in the house with them during a hurricane.
It seems to be headed our direction. Too bad we have no “hatches to batten down”. And we lost the barn Feb 4th. Only the house is left. :-)
Great to have you with us for the long weekend, my dearest FRiends! {{{hugs}}}
Yes, the Navy is moving the Norfolk fleet out to sea.
Will they pick up the Yankees for free?
Word is he has declared a state of emergency.
If this comes even close to the shore, lots of homes are going to be destroyed.
In 1962 there was a storm that took out most of Brigatine Island.
There weren't many houses on the island at that time. We get a repeat, it is going to be very ugly.
Happy to be here (as long as the power stays on!) No baseball this weekend, that's fer sure... ;-)
{{{hugs}}}
I am a bit worried, to be honest. It's raining again right now, and the ground is already saturated from all the rain we've had this spring and summer. We live in a forest of TALL trees... not a good mix with a hurricane approaching.
You might be without water and electrcity for several days.
Afternoon! Was just looking out the window at the clouds building up. Nasty, nasty.
http://eatitanyway.com/cook-it/mango-honey-sherbet/ Only thing is, because it is sweetened with honey it will harden pretty solid in the freezer, so either eat it right away (what we do) or zap it about 5 or so seconds in the microwave just enough to be able to scoop it out if you had leftovers. MMMMMM it's good. And not overly sweet (altho you can make it sweeter if you want to)
I mean to add, I only just started using coconut milk in stuff, great thing to keep on your shelf. Now THAT is probably good hurricane food! (to make this appropriate so NN doesn’t kick us out of here!)
