We had Tornado Warnings here in South Nassau earlier. Right now it's just a big rainstorm - kind of a letdown, but mostly a massive relief. The other side of town's flooded, though! | ||

Type your city and state, or zip code, in the upper left to see recent weather advisories and current and forecasted weather conditions. For power outages, I know of conEd Power Outages, but it applies only for NYC and parts of the eastern Hudson Valley. Thanks! Any idea what Newark uses for power? | ||

They issued a press release at 9 AM this morning (PSE&G Hurricane Irene Update) but I'm not sure if they are actively tracking outages for the public's knowledge. | ||

My parents are in the DC area and they report a lot of rain but no power outages. Friends in New York say just that the storm is "pretty scary". My airline wouldn't let me board any plane because my final destination was JFK. The bastards! So I'm now in Amsterdam at least a few more days...trying hard to get back to the States by Wednesday, because that's when a good friend of mine will return to Australia (from NYC) indefinitely. But I'm not optimistic, since my airline's call center is barely functioning, and my buddies' airline, Continental, isn't even taking calls (!). | ||

I heard there was a 55 y/o man who went surfing.. He probably heard that Irene is coming to the shore and wanted to look cool and buff for her.. No one would do that for SoulClaimer The first letter in the names for hurricanes is chosen based on how many there have been so far that year. First starting with a then b, c, d ,e ,f etc. What could you think of for I? that and having a creeeepy ass name would probably scare the shit out of ppl =/ | ||

I live less than 50 miles from the gulf coast. In a lot of areas of the country, there's less windstorm pruning than there is down there. If there aren't frequent severe weather events, a lot of weaker trees will just sit there until a big one comes around. If you live in one of those areas, you'll lose power a whole lot more often because everything comes down at once. Up here on Lawn Guyland, though, we get Nor'easters fairly often and some severe windstorms once in a while, so we have trees blowing down all the time like down there. | ||

Also, the flooding in Manhattan is getting worse I believe (though not extreme by any measure), with CNN reporting that parts of the West Village is under water as far in as 10th Ave, and the East River has easily risen above the seawall south of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Holland Tunnel has been closed due to flooding, with cars diverted to the Lincoln. | ||
