JT3, that map is rather inaccurate. Irene was about 75 miles south of the line drawn in it.

looks like that's a map for Floyd based on the link

8/25/2011 8:43:44 AM

It's closer this morning....

8/25/2011 8:48:32 AM

Ugh dear morons on Facebook, if you don't live at the coast stop acting like the end of the world is coming. Seriously it's like people don't realize that if you live inland unless the eye heads your way at worst it's gonna be a rainy blustery day and if you live in the triangle it may just be cloudy.

8/25/2011 11:52:02 AM

Im on my phone....so I cant post anything...

But my work just said we are closed tomorrow

8/25/2011 12:01:13 PM

maybe i should go home tonight and get some good hurricane time. maybe head out to cape lookout after the storm to see what washed up FROM THE DEPTHS.

8/25/2011 12:10:52 PM

Latest wind speed probabilities. Number in parenthesis is the total chance for that strength of sustained wind over the course of the hurricane. (34kt = 39mph, minimum tropical storm force winds, 64kt = 74 mph, minimum hurricane strength).

so you're saying ocean city and the jersey shore might get fucked up?

please?

8/25/2011 12:23:53 PM

What are they saying about the chances of bad weather in Raleigh?

Thinking about traveling this weekend...

...from Hampton Roads.

8/25/2011 12:27:27 PM

Sounds like my Dad in Philly is going to get it worse than we will in Raleigh haha.

8/25/2011 12:33:18 PM

Its probably going to be windy there

8/25/2011 12:33:31 PM

He's more worried about the drivers. He works in NYC and dealing with New Jersey drivers in GOOD weather is a hassle.

8/25/2011 12:36:48 PM

Mandatory evacuation for cateret county visitors today and Bouge Banks residents tomorrow

8/25/2011 12:42:21 PM

8/25/2011 12:43:32 PM

while I'm sure they're overreacting, you're definitely underreacting, 50 mph winds and driving rain are nothing to scoff at and we've gotten that numerous times form hurricanes skirting the coast

8/25/2011 1:08:26 PM

especially with trees that havent seen that type of wind in a LONG LONG time...

there will be lots of damage with this...i think the media is worried more with NYC than tehy should be...we are gonna get whalloped if it stays on track

8/25/2011 1:18:58 PM

Friday afternoon we're supposed to feel the effects right? Not late enough for my work to close down

8/25/2011 1:20:56 PM

lol

i know people get excited/disappointed about cancellations and hurricane parties and stuff

but all i think about now is "is a tree going to fall on my car?" and "my roof gonna blow off?"

8/25/2011 1:22:30 PM

And another one on the way...

8/25/2011 1:28:18 PM

^^ thats exactly what I'm thinking now....party tonight...sober the rest of the weekend....its getting,pretty serious

8/25/2011 1:47:12 PM

When is it suppose to hit, and then when is it coming through RTP?

this...all the previously cool weather events ceased to be cool when it only made me worry about my stuffs...how did this happen?

8/25/2011 1:48:25 PM

I think my parents are going to New Bern...

I don't know if that's good enough or not...

Farewell OBX

Irene shifts west, could make landfall in Morehead City Saturday
http://www.wral.com/weather/story/10042859/

and damn. Wilmington will be a lake.

8/25/2011 2:07:29 PM

So they keep saying to get cash now....no power no cards...but honestly...who needs cash? Ill be looting!

8/25/2011 4:06:33 PM

*Serious Question*

Does anyone know where to buy sandbags in wilmington?

8/25/2011 5:18:35 PM

ah man, no action here in charlotte? bummer

8/25/2011 5:21:13 PM

bev perdue

hur-rick-un

8/25/2011 6:02:36 PM

so what are we going to be buying if there's no power? serious question. i could see something like local produce or whatever...but stores aren't going to open if there's no power, gas pumps don't work w/o power, etc.

8/25/2011 6:10:31 PM

I mean, some stores might be open and only taking cash?

8/25/2011 7:50:56 PM

Also, I live in Morehead City, so yeah.

Lowe's or the dept for sandbags just buy play sand

8/25/2011 8:14:33 PM

will burlap sacks work? I know where to find hundreds of them.

8/25/2011 8:38:23 PM

^Whoa, I never said you could take those out of my basement. Even if I did, where else would I put all the dismembered bodies?

8/25/2011 8:41:51 PM

Lowes forgot to order sandbags so says the clerk there. I saw people buying bags of screened concrete sand in plastic wrapping for $3.46 per bag! That's just crazy when there's a giant beach made of free sand.....

8/25/2011 8:47:13 PM

My roommate, the paper scientist, seems to think that nothing will come of this hurricane. He was just worrying earlier about his car under his parents shelter.

In other words, nothing to see here folks. Expect a sunny day with light showers.

8/25/2011 9:11:03 PM

I have decided I will not be staying at my house. I will be staying with my parents. They are still on the island, just not as close to the water as my house is.

There have been a few rain showers. The swells aren't really that big...bigger than normal, but nothing special.

8/25/2011 9:45:57 PM

Surf is already getting nuts.

This. In 2003 Isabel snapped a 40' oak in half in my back yard. Luckily it only took out the fence. There are two more large oaks in our yard and a huge oak that is leaning toward our house at a "completely demolish the house and likely kill us in the process" angle in our neighbors yard. I stress all these storms.

I've changed my plans once again....I'm staying home during this. WRAL also interviewed me when I came out of food lion.

8/26/2011 10:47:07 AM
