Already some rather large branches coming down on the driveway.

We have a pot of roast pork, some broccoli rabe, plenty of provolone and Amarosos rolls. We’re doing a Tony Luke’s themed hurricane party.

Best to all.

You're likely a reasonable guy in real life, but you've made your point, ad nauseam, and have crossed into troll territory, imho.

This thread is NOT about you and how smart a weather pundit you think you are.
I don't trust the goobermint worth a flyin' damn either, but they're not on this thread ridiculing folks' legitimate concerns every third post.

Is trumpeting the legend in your own mind really worth a zot ?

News also reported that this hurricane may also set a record for the most number of people without electricity in the US at one time.

Are you getting winds and lotsa rain, nutmeg?
My family’s in WMass, and what a change from this
morning, when it was all nice and sunny there.

Not all were over reaction, at least not in this area.

Despite the things they've done I don't like, Christie and Bloomberg seem to be doing pretty good with this (although Bloomberg's nanny-statism always seeps through). Light years ahead of MA governor Deval Patrick, who gave a press conference today warning of 90 M.P.H. winds and tornadoes for our state. I have yet to see any reasonable source for that statement (at least the wind speed part).

The comments at the Boston Herald story gave me a laugh, at least. One poster said the only thing doing 90 in Massachusetts would be an illegal alien behind the wheel.

About the O and that “all business take command” look today. I noticed the gray hair was apparent. Was he showing his “experienced presidential” side? The thing is — when he was getting updates just in the last 2 days in MV, the photo-ops showed just black hair.

All for appearance. No substance.

Perhaps, but it also could be simply because it’s one of the few times NYC is included at least partially.

Thanks for these posts. We have at least 3 inches of rain since about 1:00 pm in my yard, central Baltimore County... About 200 miles from you. And this storm hasn’t even arrived yet here. We will get the high winds here overnight. Just like Isabel.

I had to break out my chainsaw and control traffic after ELANA.

Getting all sorts of bizarre mental images of chainsaw traffic control. Are there pics?

I’m picturing pretty impressive flooding of my creek because Chesapeake Bay high tide is going to be about 11:30 PM and so far the projections have the wind starting to be wrapping around at that point as she is passing east of or on top of Chincoteague.

In case people wonder, my uncle was a confirmed bachelor. And his family - many siblings - is spread all over the country.

(And, BTW, as “conservative” as could be!)

Power out in the summer here or the winter can be bad. Never seems to happen in the moderate months!
