Is anyone else getting tired tracking Irene?

I'm sorry but I'm really getting tired of tracking Irene. It seems like she's been around all season. What a boring storm right now. Oh well who knows she may end up being a cat.3 and threaten the East Coast for all we know. :eek:

Nawww, only a cat2 :wink:

It's going to get interesting next 12 hours, or whenever she starts to intensify.

I am tired of tracking Irene, but now she is getting interesting since I live near Charleston, SC.

I just wish Irene would pick an intensity and location already.

Actually... I'm really just get into it now. I started off being into it and then when it looked like an obvious fish I pretty much stopped. For storms that take 2 weeks to cross the Atlantic, there really is no point in 24/7 tracking unless it takes a route across the islands...

Tracking this system has been very interesting as it has been thru many ups and downs thru all the voyage since it emerged Africa.For sure It has been one of the most tenasious systems I haved seen.

I've been following it...but not overwhelmingly closely. Basically been reading everyone elses analysis and thoughts, and formulating my own from that kind of discussion..rather than disecting every model run, every new WV image, etc...

Once Irene developes a core that is going to stick around, and gets into range of the GOES12 imagery that updates every 10 minutes, I'll be there refreshing like a nut.

Honestly I was becoming very very bored with it......But now......Yick.....I am busy tracking and doing my hurricane prevention dance.....So far since last year(after Charlie's remnants) it has worked.
This thing just needs to die and go away. This city cannot handle the loss of revenue that even a remote chance of a hurricane can create!!! :raincloud:

That's kinda me. I knew what was going on with it... but I wasn't sitting here obsessively staring at the screen hitting refresh every few seconds. :lol:

Irene is getting really annoying to me. Its like the only game in town and is not doing much of anything now. We also have no idea where its going, from FL to the NE.

Some find it boring to track because it has stayed so weak. Not because it's been out there for a long time. It hasn't become the major hurricane everybody has been expecting yet.

Better than nothing folks...

trust me if that 5 day plot was off Florida there would be all kinds of posts about Irene and noone would be bored being in NC this certainly isn't going to be boring for me

Actually it could turn out to be boring for NC, the track keeps shifting westward and Irene will be a small storm. If it hit in the Charleston area you might not even see the Cirrus in Wilmington.

It is odd how a storm that was so large when it first began to develop dried up to not much more than a 100 miles wide.

very true dean never thought about it like that since most hurricanes i have been thru had HUGE wind fields and always brought us good winds even as far inland as i am here.Irene may indeed be a small storm but she may also grow in time will be fun to watch and see

I hope it slows down so I'm home in Jersey when it hits

Got to admit it seems like we have been tracking her for EVER.. Boring though? na.. Its why we are all here.. Lets just remember it looks like someone is going to have to end up dealing with her.. So track on we must ;-)

I am tired of her already. Irene was the one name I was the most concerned about this year. I think I will stop looking at her for a day or so.
