Re: 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Looks like a direct hit on Sandy Hook, NJ. If I recall my disaster shows on the Discovery Channel, this will push a wall of water into NY Harbor which will flood out everything.
Still not looking good for the Eastern Shore.
Predicted winds:
Kepler -- good idea for your daughter to get out of there. I would imagine the Bay Bridge will close on Saturday.

Lower Manhattan will flood along with LGA in New York. NYC's subway lines will be underwater.
Along with the storm surge, the area there is saturated with water from the summer. Major flooding is a real, serious threat.

Re: 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Some good news -- Low tide in the NYC area is between 1 PM - 3PM on Sunday. High Tides are between 7 - 9 AM.
Ocean City, MD tide times are reversed from NYC, and Irene is projected to be around there at low tide.
Edit: How will the businesses in NYC be affected plus the exchanges??

Nice tracker on the WaPo site. http://www.washingtonpost.com/hurricane-tracker?hpid=z1
Has it going right over Virginia Beach and Ocean City. Kepler - did you pay the full tuition for this semester?

Re: 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season
NHC might have to shift their track east, but still within the cone. Looks like at this early hour there are a few sustained wobbles to the east.

Hurricane watch now posted from Sandy Hook, NJ to the mouth of the Merrimack River. This includes Long Island sound, and the cities of New York, Providence, and Boston.
Looks like the storm will come very close to the Outer Banks on Saturday, then head for Long Island, likely making landfall in eastern Long Island, then crossing into eastern CT or RI, and across eastern Mass. While this is slightly better news for NYC, it is very bad news for much of eastern New England. It will likely still be a Cateogry 1 or weak Category 2 when it gets up to Long Island and New England.

Re: 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season
The father of one of our seniors is an EMO director in NJ. He just texted me to say he's earning his pay this weekend. Let's hope for the best for everyone along the coast.
I just watched Jeff Flock on Fox Biz Network interviewing a local surfer on the beach at Kill Devil Hills. The guy was a man of few words, unlike two fellows I ran into in Florida. Funniest interview I've ever done and a little levity before the tragedy.

there's a good buck in that racket.
I spent two summers in fla on the gulf and one on virgin gorda. This will be my first (maybe). Looking forward to the experience.

Re: 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Latest local forecast has a Cat 1 storm tracking directly over Nassau County, Long Island (where I live) with 65-85 MPH winds and 5 to 10 inches of rain. This is on top of the 12 inches+ of rain we have already this month and the ground is already saturated. At noon tomorrow all MTA mass transit in the NYC area will be shutdown including the subways, buses and LIRR. NJ Transit will also be shut down. Mandatory evacuations of Fire Island will be at 3PM today. Mandatory evacuations of other barrier islands (Long Beach, Point Lookout, etc.) off LI are expected to follow later today. Hospitals and nursing homes in flood areas along the NYC coastline, primarily Brooklyn and Queens as well as teh south shore of LI, are being evacuated now. We are expecting to lose our power on Sunday.

Amen. My property has many old, tall trees. I hate wind.

Re: 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season
LILCO was so bad they don't even exist anymore. Now LIPA, which is one of the most expensive utilities in the country.
The Rockaways are now being evacuated in NYC.
That's just a normal LILCO Sunday, though.

Does ConEd still run the city?
