notmikehill Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Who's getting hit by Irene in the next coming days? I know that PA is getting a little brush with the horrifying mistress tonight! In preparation I've got my Teddy painted, Ms. D is being painted, and I'll read book 3 once the power goes out! What are your plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm in Maine (about 50 miles from the coast, but along a tidal river)... I'm gonna laugh... 'cause everyone is freakin' out up here... I have to work tomorrow... 11-6... then I plan on taking a walk in the storm Monday... I'll probably go to the LGS and paint most of the day....

Cornelious1424 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Long Island is getting pelted with rain and wind. Apparently they stopped selling alcohol after 11pm, at least the 7 Elevens. We also had a few good thunderclaps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Gett'n hit kinda hard right now. Watching the trees sway way to far. Going to be a day of downed power lines and heavy rain. Monday will be interesting, see if work has power XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwug Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I woke up to rain but that's it so far. Looking at the satellite info it's still down in the New Jersey area so this is just a rain band. The cone (or what's left of it) should pass to the west of me.

Manicmac Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Nothin exciting ever happens in Michigan (without intoxication). Perhaps that is why we choose to live here? Lived on the Gulf oh, sorry Guf Coast for five years and seven hurricanes/Tropical Storms, Lived in Alaska for two earth quakes and a Tsunami alert and several wiliwaws. Lived in Tornado Alley for a bit as well, yeah, I'll take nothing exciting happening except for a girls beach volleyball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 have rain... a little thunder... but the rain is making driving treacherous... You'd think, in a state where folks drive on snow/slush/ice for 5 months of the year (at least) that they'd be able to handle water *shakes head* The mall is quite busy (both for a Sunday, and a storm day)... but I'm thinking that's due to a)folk festival closing for the day, back to school, and c) utter stupidity. I tell you what, if I didn't have to work today, I'd be home in my PJs, in my Bed with a Batman Movie Marathon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwug Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hey Fell, the worst is supposed to hit about 5 PM so be careful driving home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks Dwug... I'll drive super slow... I'm actually worried about my car out in the parking lot... I park on the... erm... low side of the mall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmikehill Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Pa didn't get hit that hard at all. We got some minor damage and flooding in low creek areas. I'm kinda bummed because I had painted a lot to keep me occupied. I didn't want my computer or tv in the event of a power surge now I have nothing left to paint!

ispep Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Clearly a trip to the FLGS is in order then. If they are closed, find a mob and start looting. Its the thing to do during disasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwug Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The national weather service had said that the worst of it would be about 5 PM. The rain stopped about 4 PM and it's been just wind since. I have heard reports of power outages, but only 1 flicker here that didn't take down my computer.

notmikehill Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 This came down near my house Geez Foe, I hope nobody was on the business end of that. Also, I'm glad nobody has gotten hurt through all this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneWhoFell Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 that was... um... some storm.... I saw a little tree down... and my neighbors cut down a tree after the rain but before the really bad wind just to make sure it didn't hit their house or garage... and there are tree bits everywhere (it kinda looks like an Ent vomited on many of the roads)... other than some minor flooding... it was kinda lame... Can't wait to go to the coast tomorrow!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
