Anonymous Coward User ID: 1107716 United States 08/26/2011 01:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, but the water in NYC is 65-70deg. Hurricanes needs something to be bad ass. Very warm water and lots of it. They like water in the 90s, not in the 60s. and they always weaken over land. Riding up the coast it will see some of that for sure. 50mph winds and tropical storm at best. NY never gets hurricanes because of the cold water. Evacuations are nothing but a sheep count. |
Curious Ted User ID: 1517797 United States 08/26/2011 02:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . Quoting: CrazyJarhead 1. Storm surge The Norfolk and Long Island Hurricane of 1821 made landfall in the city itself -- in Jamaica Bay, Queens -- and the 13-foot surge inundated more than a mile of Manhattan from Battery Park to Canal Street. . Wow. And they say history never repeats ... For those not familiar with NYC, "Battery Park to Canal Street" would extend DEEPER INLAND than the storm surge map, from the southern tip of Manhattan to the top of the word "AMTRAK" in the map below: Although modern-day shipping channels have been dredged deeper to accommodate massive cargo ships, the rest of the harbor is undoubtedly shallower than in 1821 from nearly two centuries of sludge and sediment ... meaning water will be pushed higher onto land than in the 1821 hurricane. .

Pangn User ID: 1379975 United States 08/26/2011 02:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's the biggest thing I am worried about- Gov McDonnell declared a state of emergency for the ENTIRE STATE of VA. He doesn't do that. Ever. Tornados, snow, severe storms.. ect.. he alwaysss does it by county. This hurricane will hit 1/2 the state at best. So why would he declare the whole state? That's a big whoopsie on insurance is it not? Somethings up. |

The government money hand-outs given by Obama to buy off Hurricane Irene "victims" (potential 2012 voters) from the northeast will make the $200 billion wasted on Hurricane Katrina "victims" seem like chump change. Get ready for FEMA to expand the role of the Federal Govt by at least another $1 trillion. It's coming -- count on it. . |

McDonnell was the first one to call bullshit on the healthcare law. VA was the first state to sue the federal government over it. I think McDonnell knows something with the EQ's and done it as a precaution. |

It's also Nassau County and Suffolk county (which share Long Island with Brooklyn and Queens) and Westchester county (which is not right on the water, but it's close enough). And the last I read, this hurricane is heading into central Nassau. |
YaKnow User ID: 1510828 United States 08/26/2011 02:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let's see if they can steer Irene with the same HAARP frequencies that triggered the (hurricane steering) earthquakes. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1521157 Or were the quakes caused by fracking? Hmmmmmmm...... I am starting to think man is blaming man to deny the deity of God and that maybe he is trying to tell us something. |
