    Sorry if my fish storm sarcasm is too subtle. It's a madmax thing I guess.

    Your sarcasm made no sense there. That's why nobody got it.

    There wasn't any sarcasm in his original Irene fishstorm post. He thought he was being clever while going off on the weather channel. This kind of thing is common these days. You should go read some posts on wattsupwiththat.com for more hilarity.

    I wonder if the east coast folks are taking it seriously.

    This looks nasty for the EC.....rarely does a big one hold together and hit NY/Mass, but this one looks like it is going to do just that.

    Dang...

    Here is a snippet from Dr. Masters latest update. It's not looking good for the East Coast. Imagine an Ike type storm into NYC. Ouch.

    http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1899

    The models have edged their tracks westwards in the last cycle of runs, and there are no longer any models suggesting that Irene will miss hitting the U.S. The threat to eastern North Carolina has increased, with several of our top models now suggesting a landfall slightly west of the Outer Banks is likely, near Morehead City. After making landfall on the North Carolina coast Saturday afternoon or evening, Irene is likely to continue almost due north, bringing hurricane conditions to the entire mid-Atlantic coast, from North Carolina to Long Island, New York. This makes for a difficult forecast, since a slight change in Irene's track will make a huge difference in where hurricane conditions will be felt. If Irene stays inland over eastern North Carolina, like the ECMWF and GFDL models are predicting, this will knock down the storm's strength enough so that it may no longer be a hurricane once it reaches New Jersey. On the other hand, if Irene grazes the Outer Banks and continues northwards into New Jersey, like the GFS model is predicting, this could easily be a Category 2 hurricane for New Jersey and Category 1 hurricane for New York City. A more easterly track into Long Island would likely mean a Category 2 landfall there.

    Yea the models keep shifting to west. Not good for Tri-State area. I hope they are making preparations. Insane that Irene has a potential to flood NYC's subway system.

    Hippieloser, when are you supposed to go?

    i moved to dc last week from houston. im currently on a bus headed to nyc for the weekend. so ill likely experience this storm.

    i dont know what dc folks are going to do about the mlk memorial dedication set to take place sunday. i heard that "hundreds of thousands" were expected to turn out and last night they said it was still going on as scheduled. but if the storm has shifted a bit more to the west, then it'd be impossible.

    Go yellow? It seems like a direct hit on southern North Carolina is the least bad likely option, right? All the rest could hurt a lot more people.

    I say go White. NY People are really arrogant about hurricane warnings.

    The Carolina's have been devastated by big storms enough times.

    Plus it wouldn't hit NY with the same strength as it would the Carolina's.
