Finding IT Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I am most worried about the storm surge. I live on a river just off of the Chesapeak Bay and a storm surge/high tide of 7 feet puts water at the foundation of my home. Kids are going to Gram and Pops tomorrow night and the wife and I are going to ride it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Megadon Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well the rehearsal dinner went on as planned tonight, and the bride is, rightly so, getting her drink on! We're good here, Staten Island has 4 evacuation zones...A, B, C and No Zone. "A" has already evacuated. I'm in the No Zone. Smack dab in the middle, and we should be cool. There's a tree outside that concerns me a bit, especially since my designated spot is right under it! Of course, watch, I'll move it and some projectile will find it anyway. I'm gonna drink my wine and watch the world outside, from inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCM Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 QUOTE (lerxt1990 @ Aug 26 2011, 02:02 PM) A first: SEPTA to shut down By Troy Graham INQUIRER STAFF WRITER For the first time in transportation history, SEPTA plans to suspend all service - buses, trains and subways - at midnight Saturday in response to Hurricane Irene. The city will not order evacuations from flood prone areas, Mayor Nutter said this afternoon, but three city high schools will be open as shelters. Nutter urged residents who live in flood-prone areas to use common sense and evacuate before the worst of the storm arrives, now projected to be about midnight Saturday. Philly trans. shutting down too.... Oh boy.... With so much talk about NYC, I totally forgot about Philly.. Just looked at the pic of the path of this thing.. hoping for safety for all those that will be affected.. be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everyone will be safe. right but it seems to me that a weaker storm that hits more people can be as destructive as a powerful storm that hits a less densely populated area. also the storm will be stronger above the 10th floor in the skyscrapers from what i have heard. apparently flying debris is one of the biggest concerns. my doomsday scenario is that the destruction could be so great that the insurance companies will need a "bailout" to stay solvent. hopefully i am wrong on all counts but the possibility of peoples houses which are "underwater" from a mortgage perspective being damaged by really being underwater is quite troubling. stay safe everybody!
