It's sunny out

The sun just came out here. It's a bit windy, but sunny, :)

We're still here

I just got up and it's calm outside. According to the radar, the eye
is just to our northeast and it has 75MPH winds, yet we have gusts of
maybe 40MPH here. I've seen stronger nor'easters. There are no trees
down within sight. Heck, I've seen more leaves blown off the trees in
a nor'easter. I was up around 4am when the storm was less than 50
miles from us and even then the winds were nowhere near hurricane
strength. The eye of this storm passed within about 20 miles of us.
Talk about anti-climactic. I'm sure there is flooding along the shore
areas, but otherwise Irene has not done much at all.

Still here

It's about 50 miles from us and still doing ok here. Wind not too bad. Going back to bed.

thank goodness for the weather alert app on the droid

We had about a 5 minute warning of a tornado headed right for our area
and took shelter in the basement. No sign of it but it was good to
have the warning.

Hurricane IRENE Forecast Discussion

Irene is slowing down a bit. It should be down to barely Hurricane
level if not below by the time it hits us.

Still hanging out

More rain, occasional wind. Nothing big yet, but then this thing is
still like 300 miles from us. Gonna go make some dinner I think.

And the rain starts

It started raining, no real wind yet.

We're prepped and ready

All Irene preparations are as done as they can be. Now we just wait
for the wind to start. We're far enough from the ocean that storm
surge is not a concern. Right now they are talking sustained winds
less than 70 mph.

holy crap

We just had an earthquake in southern NJ... I was sitting here and felt the whole building shake and watched the server tower moving back & forth.

Almost ready

The tires are aired up, just need to fill the coolers and we should be
ready for Pennsic. :)

Pennsic body count

As of 12 pm on 8/2 there were 5263 gentles on site.

Go East, Emily!

I hope TS Emily tracks east and not where they predict it will. If it
does we're looking at a bit of rain Tuesday at war.
