2012 Hurricane Season

[Koolaid Time]

I hope the NYC has its subway pumps and tunnel seals fully functioning, otherwise that amount of water is going to cause a world of hurt.

The places in the path of Hurricane Irene are supposed to get up to 10 inches of rain. Damnit, we need that! It needs to make a U-turn.

the sentiment is good, the realization isn't.

Somebody should tell them to move places less likely to be impacted by a hurricane.

I keep telling my wife that. She just rolls her eyes because she thinks my bitching about the east coast bias covers all aspects of life and not just sports. (She's from upstate NY)

Meanwhile Norfolk is in the teeth of it right now and the press seems to be oblivious. Speaking of, I assume the Navy ships are all out to sea to ride this out (?). I wonder about that aspect of the srorm.

Anyone watching the weather channel? It's hilarious, a reporter somewhere in Virginia, I believe Virginia beach, keeps telling everyone to stay inside and I think the more he does the more people keep coming out. Hell, people are even walking round right in front of him. Reporter looks like he is about to have a meltdown.

New Yorkers try to "Hurricane proof" their cars?

Dear lord, that would have been laughed off the streets here in Houston.

Aside from the storm surge at high tide, which could be a real mess in NY, I still see a lot of fuss about NY and the "catastrophe" heading their way.

I went to wunderground and viewed many webcam shots from SC, to NC, to Maryland, all cams near the coastal part of the state, and I have yet to see so much as a leaf on the sidewalk. Well, Ryan Leaf, but he was drunk.

We don't need New Yorkers in Seattle.

Today, you missed the guy who ran into the background of the TV shot and pulled down his shorts for a National TV audience.

Still, I think the guy in the Bear Costume during Ike is the funniest.

Reporter Gives Update Covered In Sea Foam

The foam is often a toxic mix of pollution and cyanobacteria.

A shark swimming the streets of Puerto Rico after #irene.

I don’t know if this is legit or not but damn.

We lost power for about four hours last night but that was the extent of it here in Maryland. Hardly even had Cat 1 winds.

As the East Coast begins cleaning up from Hurricane Irene, a new developing system forms out in the Cape Verdes. Tropical Depression 12 (expected to be Katia) is moving westward across the open Atlantic. TD12 will not be a threat to land for nearly a week, so any guesses on landfall locations would be just that, a guess.

Tropical Storm Jose passed near Bermuda over the weekend, little damage reported.

I thought that. Then I remember how we crap the bed whenever there is a half inch of snow

My cousin was born and raised in Texas but lives in NYC now. She said it was funny as well watching the people freak out.

[Koolaid Time]

Katia looks like its going to have the East Coast Curve like Irene.

Still too early to tell landfall, if any, in the US but I bet Insurance Companies will delay the payment of Irene claims until they see where its headed.

Please, please, please come to Texas! Not as a hurricane though...maybe as a giant tropical depression.
