imschur Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Well it looks like if things go as they are looking now CT is going to get this one right in the face. Didnt watvh the news yet this evening but as of noon they were projecting between 4"-15" of rain based on subtleties of the storms path.
98Z5V Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 My old house in VA is gonna get demolished. I'm still undecided on how I feel about that...
edgecrusher Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 i have had enough of the windy shit, rain i can deal with
imschur Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 BTW this server resides in California so it's safe

imschur Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Just an FYI, It's quite possible that sometime after Midnight Saturday I will go offline for days.

Madhouse Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 My wife is travelling home today, right down the east coast - Philly and Charlotte. Sure hope she makes the connections. Irene is a slow-mover.
weaponizer Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 People here are friggin nuts, the cars are out to the highway from the gas pumps at all the local stations, where the hell are you going? My friends wife pulled up and the string of F's coming out of her mouth was hilarious , she had just came back from shopping...The humidity here is thru the roof, i just used strapping tape to tie everything down, so i am done outside, now to try and find some old playboy mags and a flashlight in case the electric goes out... ::)
98Z5V Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 From current tracking, it's looking like it'll hit my former town of Woodbridge, VA in the next few hours. There's a 100-foot oak out back, and a couple 70-footers - they'll probably take the house out, simply based on house orientation, wind direction/wind speed. The chimney for sure isn't gonna make it. <dontknow>
imschur Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Posted August 28, 2011 It's supposed to start to rain heavy by 2am here in New Haven. We have had a few mini monsoons in the past few hours. Not sure how many more posts I have left.Remind me to setup you and Madhouse with the ability to reboot the server. ( I think I can set that up).
98Z5V Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Remind me to setup you and Madhouse with the ability to reboot the server. ( I think I can set that up).A'ight, brother - reminding you now... Is it too late?... :-[
imschur Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Posted August 28, 2011 Well Im still here. Irene should touch down in the next half hour or so. Last night was brutal. Rain was incredible at times.

ponchoG8 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Im not far from Albany and we got at least 7" as of 2pm. One corn field is flooded uptown about a foot below the top of the corn and both driveways are washed out
Madhouse Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Just spoke with family in southern Maine, getting tons of rain and some wind that is breaking tall trees off mid-way up.
edgecrusher Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 90 mins east of albany, winds but no rain now, 5", thank god i live on high ground
ponchoG8 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah I wont know till the water recedes if the corn is still standing. Its possible but the water could of contaminated it. Lots of money right there. Just got to keep on keeping on I guess.
