ATL: IRENE - Remnants - Discussion

[wxman57]

Need some help guys!!! My brother and sister inlaw leave near cherry point nc havlock is the city they live in I think. I looked and the eye is just east of them and not by much at all,,maybe 30 miles or so. They would like to know what kind of winds there getting (mph) and if its going to get worse or stay the same. They are taking a beating and are now having water come into the house. I have pulled 2 all nighters and have not slept at all so my research is really bad and slow and I hope I am making since right now. any updates for there area would be great.

Winds at their house look to have been in the 40-50 mph sustained range, possibly brief periods of 50-65 mph sustained. Gusts to near 70-85 mph. Worst should be past them now. Hurricane force winds are confined to the eastern eyewall.

Bastardi tweeted about an unofficial report of 90 mph sustained on Hatteras. Has anyone else heard about this?

Thanks soooo much wxman57 that was alot of help and what I wanted to know. U the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WeatherLovingDoc]

Thanks for the update man!!!!! Keep em comming. If u hear anything about dare county let me know asap please

I'm sure your sister is scared. Here is this morning's Emergency Announcement from Dare County officials. Perhaps she might consider sitting this out with a neighbor with some hurricane experience if that will help calm her down. No reason she needs to be alone when others are there too. I wish her well and thank you for trying to help from such a distance. We've all had to do that in life!

I haven't heard of that on Hatteras but apparently Cedar Island (eastern eyewall) has 90mph sustained. CNN is reporting a 115mph gust from there earlier this morning.

The thing is I cant find anything that has been updated since 5:35 am and its almost 10 there now. They are on the left front of the eye and just need wind speed there and if its going to get worse or not. I cant find anything and I know thre are guys on here that has been doing this alot longer than me and know right where to go for that kind of info

Irene is there now, no time to report or wonder how bad it's going to be. They need to find a safe location in the highest place they can find. This is why it's critical to prepare before the hurricane season. People are to busy protecting themselves to provide accurate weather reports when the storm is on top of them. The best that can be done is to look at the radar, determine their location, and tell them when the worst of the storm is passing. Hoping for the best!

Current conditions at Havelock NC can be found at:

Flood Watch in effect through Sunday morning...
Tornado Watch 810 in effect until 11 am EDT this morning...
Hurricane Warning in effect...

[DTMEDIC]

Checking in from Chesapeake VA. Pouring rain, windy, but no serious drama YET. So not looking forward to losing power and my beloved air-conditioning!

If you want drama, you need to watch the Andy Fox comedy hour on WAVY 10...LOL...he's out on the OBX (I think) proving that the winds will hold his body weight up!! LOL

[WeatherLovingDoc]

Very little movement since last recon pass.

Is she stalling? Or are you referring to little movement in pressure.

She seems like such a lumbering hurricane, especially since DR.

I know this is long-range speculation, but what are the chances this could turn into a massive extratropical storm over the north Atlantic and threaten parts of Europe adding more misery to the situation?

[tolakram]

live visible loop, rapid capture.

Speed up for full effect.

[Dave]

I'm up and moving again Mark...but it sure felt good to sleep 7 hours! Need some help on recon? I'm set and ready any time....if GE will cooperate today. lol
