Hurricane Irene

[marioweldinginc]

Any new info on hurricane Irene? I wanted to go riding in PA on Sunday.

Think St. Clair will be affected?

[dakotademon7]

As close as there saying it will be, PA will get a good amount of rain from it.

The weather forecast for now is Rain on Sunday for the St Clair area.

They are saying that this will be the most damaging storm in 40 - 50 years.

I live in eastern PA and I think we are susposed to get hit with some high winds. Riding might not be that bad but driving home sure will be.

Just watch out up there and be safe.

supposed to be a cat 2 when it hits us. Also the eye of the storm is coming right for Bay Shore so ill ride around here for a lil and check out the damage.

My friends in Bellmore are coming up to our house today, because they are below sunrise hwy and were suggested to evacuate. long island is going to get nailed.

If St Clair does get hit with a lot of rain be careful on your next trip there. The rain loosens up all that coal dirt and roads cave in and wash out real easy.

We are also just below sunrise highway but islip didnt order an evacuation yet. I dont think the hurricane will be bad but the flooding will be a bi***

how did the barrier islands fair? are they non-existent?

[swampcat07]

Well the winds were the worst part of the storm here in PA and even they were not bad. Just a little over 3" on the rain gauge but winds steady around 28-30 mph. A few limbs came down and the power went out but not too much damage.

I hope all of those in the direct path either got out or are OK. I don't think it was as bad as they stated but still life threatening.

Hope everyone is safe.

I found a generator at a home depot 45 miles away. $799. The next day (day of the storm) the power was out and I needed a cable to hook up the generator directly to the house because the guy who sold it to me, told me it came with it. I went out in the storm and hit 4 home depots because the lights would be out for a while. Got home with the new cable and it was a 20 amp instead of 30 amp. What a bi***!!

Went back out later to find a 30 amp or make one, but noone had anything left. Got home and hooked up the generator with some regular plugs to power some essentials. 10 minutes later the lights went on! Go figure...

I wasted 2 days, but at least I will be prepared the next storm.

You have my luck! My wife says to me all the time "if it wasn't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all"

[marioweldinginc]

I filled up all my trucks with gas, filled up 6 gas cans, did a complete tune up on my welding machine (it has a 10,500 watt generator on it), batteries, flashlights, charged up all phones and laptops and the lights never even flickered!!!

It wasnt even that windy by me. A 6' x 2" tree branch fell in my yard. that was it!

[hangingon]

Thats good news to hear It's just bad how hard others did get hit .

[pete59edsel]

Thats cause I was up there cutting that branch down, I didn't want you to feel left out...lol Glad it turned out good for you!

[marioweldinginc]

Bay Shore wasnt hit too bad but a few towns east and west of us were flooded. My sister is about 30 min east of me and is still without power. Upstate was hit real bad!
