I am on the ground floor and the only one with tape on my windows...I’m sure my neighbors are having a good chuckle.

I was looking for that video! Thanks. It’s a hoot.

I also seem to recall a screen shot from the Weather Channel where the reporter had his windbreaker hood tied up around his face, and his face all scrunched up as if he were in some massive storm. Behind him were people in t-shirts and sunglasses leaning on the boardwalk railing, calm as could be.

As long as the cell towers stay online I can stay online..
VABeach area is still getting hammered.

The eye coming even with us is due just as high tide will be hitting, so things are expected to get pretty dicey around here within the next hour or so.

What I mean is that the storm is no longer organized like a tropical storm / hurricane, despite its great size and energy. Take a look at this wind field chart:

The strongest winds are in a blob over the ocean, not wrapped around a central core. Irene is now, for all intents and purposes, a very, very large Nor'easter.

It's indeed odd to have such a low barometer almost in the 27's with only 80 mph sustained winds. Barometers that low are typical with cat 3 or even 4 storms. This one is indeed a strange duck.It could easily put up some question marks.

NHC says that winds a few hundred feet above the ground are much stronger - so New York could still get 90 MPH winds hitting the Manhattan buildings, even if the surface level winds have dropped to tropical storm strength.

Thank you for that picture. It gives me a lump in my throat. Such dedication to their purpose, and thru any weather — no matter what. Remarkable men!

Hi FRiend! So — are the Sox winning? My second fav team!

Yes! The Red Sox are up 3-0 in the bottom of the 6th vs the Oakland A's. In Game 1 earlier today, the Sox won 9-3. The A's clobbered the Sox, though, in the Friday night game: 5-15.

Overall the Red Sox are doing well... they're #1 in the American League East, for now anyway.

I usually have my glass of Resveratrol just before I go to bed, but tonight I’m thinking of being on storm watch so might make it a double TOMORROW night!

Resveratrol? I'm not sure I know what that is...

A double of anything alcholic sounds good for tomorrow night, FRiend! ;-)

I hope and pray you and Mr. Exit148 and your family stay safe and sound, and that Irene fizzles before she hits the northeast... take care.

Hey guys, am I missing something? I’m in southern Connecticut looking at the radar in motion. It looks like in the last hour or two all the heavy rain that was bearing down on us is dissipating. The heavy stuff now is all to the west. There is not that much in the upper right quadrant.

We’ve had very little rain so far and it looks like we are not going to get that much overnight.

Well, Geraldo’s up next... that should be informative.

He's standing in the rain outside FOX, talking about himself in between showing clips from disaster movies. Then he cut to a guest and within 10 seconds told her it was time for a commercial.

I usually have a more adult sense of humor, but I really think it would be very symbolic if a brave New Yorker would moon Geraldo like they did the Weather Channel guy today.

Looks like we out of that large band that was hitting us. Moderate rain and wind right now. Power is on.
