Yeah we're bracing for Irene in the Northeast.

There was also a Quake in Peru a few days ago. 6.something on the Richter scale.

[Gunlord]

I will fight Irene with all my might :dukesup:

[Kale]

Heading out to work soon. But I don't think the worst of it will hit us til I go home.

I'll post on my droid when my home starts sailing down the river.

I believe I see dry air entraining on the right side of the storm, if form holds true this weakens hurricanes. We went through the same thing in 2002 with a 150 MPH monster named Lilli, but dry air knocked her down to 90 MPH before she made landfall. Had she not weakened things could've been far worse here, as it is cleanup was messy for weeks after.

True. Unlike a Tornado which can appear almost anywhere, a Hurricane is dependent on cool ocean currents. But once it makes landfall it starts to die unless it turns back out over the ocean again to regain its strength.

Funny thing, I was thinking that this very morning.

[Bloodreign]

My turn for tropical troubles, Slow-Lee is coming in later today, not a wind threat, but damn if he isn't dumping rain like crazy.

[Gunlord]

Hope you stay well Bloodreign-sama ;_;

Jehovah's righteous indignation has fallen upon you easterners. You must have done something wrong.

I'm used to these things, but this sucker just refuses to hurry out, he decided to stall out along the coastline (about 20 miles offshore). It did drop a tornado about 5-7 miles southwest of me just minutes ago, these storms drop tornadoes like crazy.

Such a storm is a good opportunity to get out you digital camera and capture some awesome photographs!

Uh, ya elected Obama.... and not Ron Paul.

[Gunlord]

Paul Ron will save us from the hurricane
