ATL: IRENE - Remnants - Discussion

I don't post very often, but this guy is an idiot, he is in Moorehead City with a camera chasing the storm in a rental car, he has no plans for shelter as the storm get's worse, he plan's on staying in his car.

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-seve ... her-webcam.

My prayers are with you all on the East Coast.

Not only is he an idiot, but he's spreading false information. He just said that the storm still might strengthen before NC landfall. Great.

well technically it could....

[Kohlecane]

anyone have link to a radar near Cape hader.

[CronkPSU]

259 as well they just said for direcTV viewers...one more but i missed it...

[capepoint]

latest reports are as many as 100,000 customers without power at this time in eastern nc......and we have only gotten a few outer bands.

Although a small chance, it could happen. Irene's presentation is looking better on IR at the moment. Still fighting dry air though.

Yes, he has been great. We're listening to him on the radio. As he's reporting he's also directing a college intern working with them on answering everyone's questions on facebook. We met Skip a couple of years ago when our son's scout troop did a tour of the WCTI studios. He was great with the kids and taught them quite a bit. All the tornadoes are crazy. We just had a pretty strong squall come through, but it seems to have calmed down for a few now.

[weatherSnoop]

on behalf of all of us in eastern NC, thanks to all that have wished us well. We hope we won't ever need to repay the favor, but know that we will when it's your turn to be in the path.
I am concerned for those up north as well, this storm does not seem to be fooling around, as we have taken considerable flooding and damage already being as how we are just in the outer bands.
You guys up north please take this seriously.

I do hope you weather the storm well. I to hope you never have to return the wishes. I do think some are taking it seriously, though some is not alway good enough

mature trees will do that to you....especially if they havent been trimmed.....trees are going to fall on power lines...nothing at this hour we can do about it...good luck out there NC...I pray you got resources to last.....during IKE I had to drive 30 miles south just to find a gas station...

[UpTheCreek]

Let's see: 3 kids - small room VS 2 cats regular house.... YOU LOSE

Couldn't agree more!


I am watching where the tornadoes seem to be and looks like most are north. I forgot about the tornadoes.....damn the tornadoes! Wait, that's torpedoes. Oh well.

Just another thing to worry about in all of this.

Been married 25 years. I know that formula all too well I absolutely hate tornados. they don't have the common courtesy to let you know when to expect them.

Mind of their own, just like CATS!

Going to call it a night folks. Best wishes and safe journeys. Be back in the morning.

I have to say, our local met in New Bern, Skip Waters, is really something. He's been at it all day and night and right now he's picking out tornado signatures that aren't even reported by the NWS. He really is a fine Met.

Yes, he has been great. We're listening to him on the radio. As he's reporting he's also directing a college intern working with them on answering everyone's questions on facebook. We met Skip a couple of years ago when our son's scout troop did a tour of the WCTI studios. He was great with the kids and taught them quite a bit. All the tornadoes are crazy. We just had a pretty strong squall come through, but it seems to have calmed down for a few now.

He has been doing weather at that station for almost 30 years. He has a lot of local knowlege, and he does not mind telling what he thinks is going to happen even if it flies in the face of what the NWS says. He will give you the "official" forcast, then tell you what he thinks might happen. Sometimes he is wrong, but usually he is right. He was saying this thing would probably come into Bogue banks several days ago when the models were still going east of Hatteras. You have to admire someone that does not mind sticking his neck out when he thinks he needs to.

The one small positive is that Irene has not been able to maintain a strong inner core through out the day as well as having to deal with the entrainment of dry air being drawn into the circulation from the southeastern U.S.. The dry air can clearly be seen in WV images:

He's very good.

Now he's saying it may make landfall just north of Cape Lookout. Now where did Isabel make landfall again? hmmmmm.......

Dang, just lost sat again. Guess I should be thankful my power is still on though.

Gonna take a little nap now that we have a little lull. Will try to report back later in the morning if I still have access. Ya'll be carefull out there!
