Original Message Do they normally do this before hurricanes? Why the sudden rush to install sensors all over the place?

This just smells fishy. I guess they know something bigger is coming and this was a cover to get their tech in place for that event.

Government scientists have blanketed the East Coast the past few days installing advanced equipment to monitor potential impacts from Hurricane Irene as it moves up the coast. This is part of the Federal government's broad efforts in support of state, tribal and local response to the storm.

U.S. Geological Survey crews completed installations of storm-surge sensors at key locations along the North Carolina coast, Chesapeake and Delaware Bays yesterday, and are finishing installations all the way up the east coast today.

In total, more than 260 emergency sensors needed to measure storm surge will have been installed in critical areas from North Carolina to Maine.

And they were all over it. Here is their Irene page with other links [link to www.usgs.gov]
