maxman Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Im about three hours,200 mi away from the coast. Just filled the car with gas and picked up some extra water,batteries and booze. It looks like Irene's winds are around 120mph at some points. I just wanted to say to those of you who might feel the effects of the hurricane,"stay safe my friends" Mike
valerian Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Sounds quite serious! Take care, my friend! Val.
maxman Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks guys,looks like It may be one of the worst hurricanes to hit the US coast line In decades. Winds have been upgraded to 150 mph,yikes
TeeJay Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks bro. Any time, bro And that goes for all you East Coast Cats, batten down the hatches, stay safe, and if you must go looting, I rather fancy an iPadII, thankyou very much

woof* Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Any time, bro And that goes for all you East Coast Cats, batten down the hatches, stay safe, and if you must go looting, I rather fancy an iPadII, thankyou very much You know, I hadn't thought of the looting.....farthest thing from my mind. But now with recent events..the flashmobs, England, the president's waining popularity- and a high probability of him not being reelected..and just all the tension and unrest in general... It is very likely this may be the mother of all lootings. It was bad at Katrina but this may be huge. Prayers sent for the people in that area.

Given it happened when Katrina hit, I'm expecting no different this time... Just hoping folks stay safe
modelizer Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Stay safe Mike and hold on to that watch box of yours!
maxman Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Stay safe Mike and hold on to that watch box of yours! Thank you sir,and I will.
cornerstone Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Take it easy Mike, hope everything goes okay. Hopefully only a roof will blow off a strip club or something in a Benny Hill kind of way.

kbh Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I went over to the beach last evening and saw we lost the next generation of sea turtles. All the nests seem to have washed away and the beach was littered with turtle eggs, mostly smashed. Surfers were having a good time though. Waves about 8 to 10' off Palm Beach. Best of luck to the people on the Outer Banks of the Carolinas. Looks like they'll get hammered and it could be very expensive up in the New York City area.
seafoam Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 "Come on Irene, oh I swear. At this moment, you mean everything"... Stay safe Mike and dont drink and drive....much...
ubiquitous Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Stay safe, brother. And LOL @ Benny Hill's News Flash!

maxman Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 "Come on Irene, oh I swear. At this moment, you mean everything"... Stay safe Mike and dont drink and drive....much... I promise on the driving thing but the drinking thing,not so much Thanks Brian
freddy333 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I've rung a close friends of mine who live in Texas. I am not able to get hold of them for 3 days. should i be worried? No. Texas is several hundred miles west of the US east coast, well out of Irene's path.
woof* Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah, no calamities going on here in Texas..well...other than three months of constant 100 degree heat!
cougaree Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Best of luck everyone! Stay safe! By the way, what watch are you going to be wearing. Not that matters, just curious.
