Yes you yankees have done a wonderful job of screwing up your environment and now like locusts you are constantly coming down here to God's country. We don't care how you did it in New York.

NWS now says that high winds in New York could be as low as 50mph, and they have backed up the rain total from 8 inch possible to 6 or 7 inches possible.

They will back up even more before the storm gets there....

New Yorkers are SUCKERS!

torm surge is a major worry for residents of New York City. Luckily Irene’s “dirty side,” or its more powerful eastern side, will most likely miss New York, Our Amazing Plant reports, preventing the major catastrophe some had predicted. Still, Mayor Michael Bloomberg once again told people in low-lying areas that they must leave their homes. Consolidated Edison Co. may turn off power in these low-lying areas as a preemptive measure

This of course government overbearance, yet another lesson that government must be aggressively chopped back to keep it from damaging our lives without just cause....

Bull. The only reason you're on your horse about it is because you see the storm weakening at the moment. If the intensity kept up, you sure wouldn't be cheer leading the choices made by the various local governments.

The first projections were going to be too hysterical by design, just as the first projections on economic numbers are always better than the later numbers.....your government does not think that it needs to tell you the truth when it is on a mission to get you to do what it wants you to do.

The Port authority has shut down the airports for the week end, and Bloomberg now says that he has no intention of opening the city transit system till late monday...so NYC will be shut down for yet another day unnecissarily.

The rest of the US with our crumbling economic picture appreciate the effort to keep things rolling *sarcasm*.

The weather service is calling for winds up to 80mph and rain over two days of up to 8 inches for New York City...the wind prediction has already gone down once but I bet that sustained winds end up less than 70 mph and rain less than 6 inches...in other words not a big deal, certainly no reason to bring the city the never sleeps to a nearly complete stop.

I said this 9 hours ago, and the NWS has already gone below my prediction on wind and was at 6 inches max on rain before they stopped predicting rain totals all together. I am going to be proven right, yet again.

We see if I am right that Bloomberg gets a tongue lashing from angry citizens for shutting down the city and making over 300,ooo people leave home for no good reason.

HAwkeye seems to have broken his arm from so much patting hisself on the back. BUT I DIGRESS.

PECO (our power purveyor) is onwed by a large company based in Chicago with major assets in the mid west. PECO announced that
"in order to best serve our customers in the path of the storm", they relocated assets and crews from the west south and midwest to restore power as quickly as possible. Well hell, e;ectricity is sold by the kilowatt so when they aint pushing any kilowatts our way, they lose money. In 1999 when ISABELLA hit here, we were regionally wothout power for 7 steamy hot and miserable days. Im sure that PECO lost a lot of revenue so maybe they learnt a lesson to try to restore [power ASAP. The ground in the midATlantic states is satureated from recent rains. It wont take a lot of wind to down trees when thweir roots are held fast onl.y by a thixatropic moosh.

I was expecting to be without power for days so last year we bought and had one of these whole housegenerators installed. Now it looks like we wont get a real chance to give her a maiden voyage.

If local governments get in the habit of turning the power off in the attempt to convince people to leave, as Bloomberg is talking about, you will one day be glad that you have it...
