I live in PA about 2 hours from the shore. It’s been a wild night with high winds and rain. The wind is still howling. They’re expecting the Delaware River to flood.
We had all of that in about a six hour span last week where I’m at and that was on top of the summer long flooding of the Missouri river which is still well above flood stage. It’s called bad weather, not the end of the world as the media and politicians are portraying it.
I’m in MA, Irene hasn’t officially arrived yet but we’ve got 50k people without power, subway shutdown, Logan is open but no flights in or out, Amtrack has suspended service. I heard there are transformers exploding in other states. Storm is over Manhattan moving @ 26mph - we’ve got tree limbs down on my street, fire engines running all over town, not sure why, trees? or car accidents? med issues? haven’t heard a vehicle come down my street since 1am.
