Re: Hurricane Irene: Prepare for a Category 4 'major Hurricane'
I stayed up as late as my body would let me to see this storm. The worst I have to say was around 3AM before the 'cane even got to me. By the time the center of the storm hit landfall in Queens, it sure was windy and wet but no real issue, as I expected. Now give me a category 3 or 4 off the mideast coast making first non Floridian landfall right in NYC and I'll show you a storm to really worry about... Sunny and nice out tomorrow in the meantime  |

Anything that can bring down a tree of that size can't be good.

Re: Hurricane Irene: Prepare for a Category 4 'major Hurricane'
Most of Vermont is devastated, almost all roads and highways in the state sustained some sort of damage. Heres a map of all the roads closed. http://511.vermont.gov/main.jsf Luckily Burlington saw only some rain and gusts but nothing major.

Re: Hurricane Irene: Prepare for a Category 4 'major Hurricane'
The eye wall passed about 60 miles to the east of us. Fortunately, it was a category 1 hurricane at that time, not the category 2 they had been forcasting. If one traveled about 10 miles east of where I live, you'd start feeling gale-forced winds. Travel ten miles to the west of us, just a breeze. We were kind of in the middle. Torrential rain for a time Saturday night. But all day long, cloudy, gust winds, and on-and-off squalls.
