Hi to All !
FYI:
Hurricane IRENE
As friendly advice -> Most of you have never been thru a Hurricane.
THIS ! Is nothing to take lightly 
Having personally been thru 3 Hurricanes, X number of Northeasters, 2 Typhoons, and "The Perfect Storm", in my life time, I firmly advice that you make all preparations for the worst and hope for the best !
If Irene tracks close to the 1938 Hurricane "Long Island Express" path we're going to catch "Hell", especially if the winds stay above 100 mph.
!938 Hurricane devistated Long Island -> most of New England -> and all the way into Canada. (Google 1938 hurricane for info).
Again -> DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY
Wind and water are the 2 of most powerful forces on this planet.
Stay Safe
Best regards,
SeaDog1 |

From the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection
8/26/11 11:45am
HURRICANE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT…
TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR NORTHERN CONNECTICUT…
HURRICANE IRENE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN
CONNECTICUT SUNDAY MORNING…
At 11:00 AM the center of Hurricane Irene was located at
30.7 North 77.3 West (Approximately 330 Miles South
Southwest of Cape Hatteras). Irene has maximum
sustained winds of 105 MPH and is moving to the North
at 14 MPH.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now forecasting
that Irene will remain a Category II hurricane today and
remain a Category II hurricane until the storm passes
over the outer banks of Cape Hatteras around 11:00 AM
Saturday morning.
Irene is then forecast to move up along the immediate
East Coast and arrive in the Norwalk area around 10:00
AM Sunday morning as a Category I hurricane. The first
effects from Irene are still expected to begin Saturday
afternoon with light rain which is expected to become
heavy at times by midnight. Heavy rain is expected to
continue from midnight on Saturday through the passage
of the center of Irene Sunday morning (especially in
Western Connecticut). Tropical storm force winds are
expected to enter the state around midnight Saturday
night and hurricane force winds are expected just after
daybreak on Sunday. Although forecast confidence is
getting better with each update, Irene is still 2 days away
and additional changes to the track forecast are possible. |
