According to the weatherman, Irene is just going to divert hot air towards us and lead to yet another record-breaking hot day at 107 F. Also, you guys should probably evacuate before officials give the warning, else you'll be stuck in the world's worst traffic jam for half a day trying to get to a hotel / relatives out of town. TRUST ME, if you leave late, you WILL regret it. Haha, remembering Rita? | ||

I live in New York in the Elmhurst area Based on NYC's zoning system for flooding-related disasters, you should be ok for storms below a Category 2 hurricane. If you live north of the Grand Central, I think that's they highway that defines the boundary, you might want to take more precautions. | ||

Regardless, here's the TL thread for your 'surfing tips' - surfing anyone? That is true. Mandatory evacuations have now been issued for those New Yorkers living in what's being designated as Zone A - low lying areas like Coney Island, Jamaica Bay, the Rockaways, Battery Park City, the Financial District, Red Hook, and parts of Staten Island. The MTA will shut down definitively at some point tomorrow. And bridges will close if winds are recorded at above 60 mph for more than a 'short period' of time. I would check with the airline today and tomorrow to see if the flight hasn't been cancelled. The airline should offer rescheduling options ideally. Edit: Updated OP with some flight info, updated evacuation orders, and other info. I do, and I was pointing out in my own way that people are entirely over reacting. The Sustained winds on this are 100mph and dropping as the recent trend. Unless it suddenly jumps to 150mph this isn't anything more than an excuse to throw a hurricane party. People are freaking out over nothing. The Worst it will do is some significant flooding due to its slow speed. | ||

Up here in new England, I know people that have their house less than 40 ft from the water and when storms like this come around they wind up with a living room full of water and power is out for a few days up to a few weeks. Comparing the two situations is pretty silly. | ||

I'm in central MD, so we won't get hit head on from the current path estimations, just from its left side... They are making a way bigger deal out of this than what it actually is (knock on wood), it is already less than 85mph and has yet to pass South Carolina, though flooding is always a concern. A hurricane party does sound fun though Dekoth (Even if it will be far less awesome than my last, which was located in the pic below) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i56.tinypic.com/2db13pi.jpg) | ||
