I feel like the media is just blowing it out of proportion for ratings and website traffic. The whole empty store shelves thing seems somewhat silly. But who knows, I could be way off. | ||

Thanks for answer It was raining a bit earlier, but right now it's perfectly fine here in NYC. I assume it's "the calm before the storm". Not even a breeze going on so far, though. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing if all of the paranoia that the media is sparking is justified for once. | ||

Yeah, it's the end of the world on every website. She sms-ed me that they are ready for evac but it should 'only' be a troppical storm in their area (montauk). Are you from NY? When should the storm arrive and are you worried? Does these thing happen a lot on east coast?  | ||

No, tornado warnings mean there is a tornado on the ground already or one about to be, a tornado watch means that conditions are right that could likely produce one. | ||

Does these thing happen a lot on east coast? I live in Queens, which is in between Long Island and Manhattan. Not sure how things are out in Montauk, but considering they're right on the eastern coast, they'll likely get hit harder than us in NYC. Not sure when the storm will actually hit and I honestly don't care. The only thing I'm worried about is something like my power going out which would prevent me from sitting back and watching MLG, which is pretty much what I'm doing right now. LOL I live on top of a hill so I'm really not expecting any damage since flooding has never been a problem. Can't say the same about people a few blocks down the street on lower elevation, though. They might have some reason to be concerned. | ||

Thanks for answer I'm not in NY (my aunt is) but I'm in northern NJ so I can have a rough estimate as to what's happening and nothing really. There was some rain but that's it. I don't really expect too much more than what's been happening. Just a gut feeling but I could be wrong. | ||

Does these thing happen a lot on east coast? These things do not happen often at all as far north as Montauk. South of Montauk has issued a mandatory evacuation order. I, myself, am at the western end of Long Island, in Brooklyn, and conditions are cloudy with some occasional downpours at the moment. I just got back from biking to Coney Island Beach and Jamaica Bay and it is clear that not everyone has evacuated despite police vans blaring the order (they have till 5 PM anyway). Updated OP, putting most of yesterday's post under spoiler, with new information. | ||

* Irene expected to hit NY Sat night to Sun night * Subways are all suspended * Airports are closed * All Starbucks are closed * Possibility of electricity being shut off in some areas. Fill sinks and bathtubs with water to prepare for loss of electricity. Charge electronic devices. * Evacuations are taking people in and they still have room. Pets are welcomed. (Brooklyn has more than expected though). Evacuation must be completed by 5pm. * Go bags recommended (Stores are sold out of Flashlights and Batteries). Any recommendations on good, waterproof, rugged backpacks to be used as go bags (in case of earthquakes, hurricanes, apocalypse, zombie attacks, etc)? | ||
