I'm hoping everyone will be safe, our thoughts are with you.

Good luck guys. Let's just hope for the best.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I am all set at home. hoping that it is not nearly as bad as they are predicting. i have been bringing all the patio and pool furniture into the garage, cleared the drains across my driveway and am stocking up on water in case we lose power. power outages are the only real drawback to having well water as far as I am concerned.
hang in there everyone and be smart.

I'm a few thousand feet from the Delaware river in Jersey. Wasn't able to stock up on everything I wanted. Hoping for the best! Good luck out there gang

Looks like I'm in for it here. They just announced a mandatory evacuation of my area on the south shore of Nassau County, Long Island. I'm supposed to vacate my house by 5 PM tomorrow. I have a hard time believing this could be that bad. I remember Hurricane Gloria in the 80s. But I'm really not sold on leaving my house yet.

Same here, we are on the edge of the flood zone but we have enough rations to last for 5+ days.....I am not leaving my house, I mean it's not like my basement can get any wetter!

I cant recall the damage from Belle. I lived in Huntington and remember Gloria knocking down more trees and we were out of power for a week. I was like 16 then, so it was all fun and games.

What town are you in?

stay safe

Ready for Irene. North of Sunrise Highway here in Suffolk County. I remember Gloria...and we really didn't get that much damage. Belle back in 76 or 77 was worse then Gloria. I remember that one because we had the Sliding glass doors in our first house boarded up and the fireplace boarded and closed off just in case of broken glass. Basically were all huddled in the living room/dining room area of the house.

I guess depends where you live. My family on Long Island and the Weather station just said it will not be anywhere near the force of Gloria.

Be prepared anyways!

[Type3Toys]

On our stations here, thay are saying this will probably be the worst storm of our lifetime.

They just announced a mandatory evacuation for me as well..I am in Fairfield ct....I am supposed to head to the cape Sunday afternoon !

[Mikey]

Does the evacuation centers around there allow pets ?

They say not allowing pets is the number 1 reason people don't evacuate.
