ATL: IRENE - Remnants - Discussion

[gatorcane]

People, it is really blowing here in Old San Juan, increasingly with serious gusting. Not as much rain yet but when it comes, there is some lighting too. You can tell the storm is strenghtening just by the sound of that wind increasingly howling. My greatest fear is it is slowing down in forward speed. 10 inches of rain was the last I read. if it verifies, it will be a disaster. Have not posted all day because of preps. We are down to the last details. Power is already getting unstable. I will try to post some pictures I took earlier, should Irene permit and from tomoroow when it stops, if it stops tomorrow. All other folks in Puerto Rico, do not underestimate the puch of a strenghtening storm. Remember Marilyn. And be safe.

Wow, yeah I can see it is really intensifying from the IR images.

Stay safe, going to be a long night for you guys. Even winds up to 70mph gusts are very scary.

[Sanibel]

Puerto Rico radar is down.

[JTE50]

Wish the radar out of PR would come back up . . .

I know I'm in the minority on this one but I still see Irene spending a much longer time over the DR.http://www.boatus.com/hurricanes/win ... torm=Irene

I live in wellington as well. I didnt watch the local news today but last night they were all over it. Been busy today so I havent had a chance to watch much tv but I will see what comes on at 11!

I'm in Madison Green. When/where is the hurricane party?

im down the road aways. off wellington trace..

the latest track seems to keep the worst of it off to our east

Nonetheless, it should be interesting. Let's see what happens...

[Hurricaneman]

The radar probably got knocked out, so no more San Jaun radar unfortunately

50kt winds or less knocks out a radar?

[gatorcane]

Looks like it should become a hurricane before reaching Hispaniola if you ask me. Looks like the weakening TUTT axis is having a slight shearing effect (very slight but in a SSW to NNE orientation)...obviously very light SSW winds aloft, not much though.

Wow is all I have to say:

It can if the weather is bad enough

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all that are being affected and will be affected! Stay safe!!

You never know. I swear every hurricane ive been through, the first big gust takes the power out. Even though I still think FPL just hits the switch when the wind starts blowing.

[sponger]

North Florida is down the middle for the second time this year 5 days out. Seems to me everything from the FL Pan Handle to North Carolina is in play. I once again like my chances being down the middle 5 days out. I won't worry until the Tues or Wed forecast tightens up. Looks better right now than the rest of the season combined.

yeah, go figure. These radars should be solid - especially at times like these with a developing system at their front door.
