Heres hoping it moves away at the last minute and everyone stays safe. :fingerscrossed:
So does anyone else start singing Come on Irene in their head every time they read the title of this thread? I've been singing that song to myself all day. |
Re: Irene
Seems to have missed us, in South Florida. Batten down the hatches, in the Carolina's & all the way North.
Stay safe & be prepared. Personally i'm a city kid & have no idea or experience, in these matters. :eek::eek: Reg. Frank R. Ps. Have a load of bottled water, soups & batteries, going cheap. |

Just on TV now that it's projected to be more over NJ than coastal NY. That's bad news for us...the further west it moves the nearer the eye will be to where I live. |

Re: Irene
First it's blood freezing blizzards, then it's blood boiling searing heatwaves, then it's scary earthquakes and now it's Irene roaring in ferociously like a woman scorned seeking revenge.
Maybe it's a blessing I never actually got to live in America - it's sounds too dangerous a place in which to hang out. The thin drizzle I can see wafting down outside from the heavy grey/white cloud sheet way up there above London Town sounds a much safer bet, if a rather tame and boring one. When America has weather then it really is weather, no half measures, in typical American style. Maybe if you sang to Irene she would turn around and go away like a good little girl......no harm done....hopefully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gASQ1...eature=related |

Re: Irene
We're up in NW NJ with a ton of trees around us.....just hoping for the best. Moving the patio furniture off the deck, or maybe I should leave it there so that if flies off and hits the next door neighbour who threw her cat out in the freezing weather.
Didn't feel the earthquake the other day so just hoping we miss this. Sent hubs to Home Depot this morning, but I'm sure everything is sold out. Hopefully, it will sweep my Mother in law away:D |

[QUOTE=Jerseygirl;9583260 Trees here seem to have such shallow roots...they fall over like matchsticks.[/QUOTE]
I know what you mean -- we are deep in the woods, and every time there's any kind of rainstorm we hear crashes all around us. The worst thing for me about a storm is that I'm terrified that if I let the dogs out something will come down on them. Of course, the workmen just finished the repairs from the Jan/Feb snow damage two days ago. The roof was replaced in May, so we'll see how it holds up now. |
