Coastal areas of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island are being ordered to evacuate. I have lived in NYC for 54 years and have never seen the likes of this preparation. They didn't shut down MTA after 9/11, even though it destroyed a subway station. But they're shutting it down for Irene. I gotta wonder how much of this is mother nature and how much is politics?
Anyway, they sure have my attention. Irene is a Cat3 (Katrina was Cat5), but she's HUGE and moving slowly. We may all be hunkering down for several days. I made a big pot of pasta, have a flashlight, a transistor radio, extra batteries, and a tub full of water. I'm worried about my son vacationing with family in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. I'm worried about a friend who lives on a boat. I'm worried about folks in this city that are homeless, I'm worried about my elderly parents, (though they aren't in a flood zone). I'll be happy when this is over. Heart |

As of right now Irene is being classified as a Category 2 Hurricane, and is projected to lose strength rapidly over the next couple of days. Hope you all and your loved ones stay safe.

If you have cat litter in the plastic containers, and they are empty, fill them with water, can be used to flush the john.

It is possible if I put newspapers, puppy pads, or whatever, out in the garage, he will see that as "going out", I suppose. I think I will try that! Thanks for your thoughts, folks! <thumbs up>

My daughter is in Marshfield MA, does anyone know if she can get out of Boston to go north tomorrow evening? Is Boston closing down the T? She could stay there wtih a friend if not. Damn I am so worried.

Hi Jazz,
Bostonian here. Currently our MBTA (train transportation) is running on normal schedules as well as Commuter Rail. So she should be fine with heading North. We will be getting a lot of rain today, but the worst of this will be in the daylight hours tomorrow (Sunday). It's easier said than done when I say "try" not to worry. Our state is taking all the precautions necessary  You can also go here to check on things: http://www.thebostonchannel.com Hang in there  Best, Scorp Quote:

I think I'm prepared. Yesterday I picked up some batteries for the flashlight and some peanut butter and bread incase I can't cook...although, there is still the grill outside. I pulled the trash cans in the yard and secured everything on the patio. Irene should start coming through soon and we're expecting the brunt overnight when I'll be at work. It's cloudy here in Baltimore at the moment but very calm...almost too calm. :/

This may have been mentioned already...
It was reported on the news about cell towers. Charge cell phones and some may even want to have the instant charger(runs on batteries) on hand. Cell towers become overloaded during these times and you may not be able to call out or receive voice mail, but you will be able to text. Be safe ALL.

I'm watching the Outter Banks and Several places under mandatory evac
We're being hit with some major rain and winds and the worst is going to hit the Raleigh area where I will be working today. Lots of flooding on the news, I hear that Dare Co. is under mandatory evacuation as well. Let's just say that our beaches are being hit hard. Going to drop the kidlett off at her Mom's work and head to work. Unless our building actually falls to the ground TWC is up and running business as usual lol. stay safe East Coasters -

Please stay safe everyone! I have a great deal of family still in the Boston area and everyone we have talked to is trying to do their best to be prepared, but I honestly don't think you can ever truly be prepared when it comes to the crazy weather that is going on. Check in when you can...

We're thinking of everyone on the East Coast in the path of this storm and wishing for safety!
I hope people can check in periodically and let us know that you all are ok.

Depending on what type of internet service you have, you may loose that
also. Charge (of course, just repeating what I heard on this mornings news) your P.C. s up. Broadband and dial up (i didn't know dial up was still around) and they said Fios (which is a cable television/ internet service we have).... may go down. Almost certainly if power goes, and landline or cell service goes, internet will also. So more FYI stuff. they were also talking about candles. Be careful with candles.
