Willows always take a beating in storms

"There are 10 Robins eating worms on my front yard right now

This is crazy"

Imagine the devastation and horror from the worms point of view.:err:

Now that's funny

Wind and rain has picked up, power cutting in and out in Pembroke. When do we start looting and burning things?

Waited too long to start making breakfast, threw the bacon in the pan and POP, out goes the power. Had to dig out the 35yr camping Coleman, still good as day I bought it. Glad to see I haven't lost the touch. I'm starting on the beer SOON so it doesn't go bad.:)

Power is out and front trees are shaky - too late to do anything...

fishing
 

was pretty good yesterday

caught a nice 4 lb LMB and a real good snickeral

but then the rain got heavy which wasn't too bad
except lightening was extremely possible
and therefore it was time to exit....

and of course ONE lady just had to stop at the boat ramp
and ask why we were leaving, because of a little rain?. :doh:

NO WAY there aint enough wood on the planet to cover that gaping abyss :rotf2:

Snooky would be an awesome name for an "S" storm... A good blow for everybody.:D

bad day to be a picket fence, at least 2 smashed around my house

I was certain ours was going to break but the winds didn't end up being that bad...

This is impressive.

:rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

First one with my hat on it is the one I watched through the window in the garage, it could have got me if it came that direction:eek: it also could have hit the driveway where my newish log splitter, kayak and a bunch of other stuff is parked.

More damage I'll post later when I get back out with the camera, top of an oak just missed my neighbors garage, next to his house another neighbor almost lost his shed to a tree.

One more of a leaner, same house caused power outage over the winter when one of the damn pines came down, my power supply for the desktop died because of the power surge. They are very lucky the tree that came down missed their house and their neighbors (only took out his power).

Just came back from a coastal tour from the canal to Marion and the difference from end to end was night and day.

Still have power in S. Plymouth but looked like it was out from Onset to Marion.

Quite a few boats way up on the beach between Onset and Marion.

Marion harbor was crazy but then we went out to Silver shell beach, which is just outside of Marion harbor and it was X10.

Marion looked like a ware zone compared to where I am in Cedarville.

I'm sure some of you have probably trout fished the Deerfield and recognize this place:

Holy crap just got video of a couple more coming down moments after having my picture/video taken at the base of it to show the size of the split, I noticed it was leaning about 5 degrees and saw the halves moving slightly, walked over to the other tree (1st one down) and just got my phone with the video going brought to me when it started going. I hope the video is good and when I figure out how to I'll review it and post it.

WBZ News just interviewed a woman from National Grid, she reported that some people will be without power for up to a week ... :smash: ... granted there are about 300,000 without power in MA, and she said 100,000 without power in RI and NH each

Power has been out in Wrentham since about 11:00 am
Gonna be pissed if it's not back on in time for the Raiders vs Saints at 8:00 pm on nbc

Is that the candle factory?

Thank god it's not hot.

-spence

yep the joke's on US....

Irene was a flousey

Had to move the yak and splitter....this is the tree that came down and took half another 80' with it, moved the yak because the other half is still there and it's 80' somewhat skinny, really hope it doesn't hit the house or garage.....once again my hat for scale. Once I review the videos I'll see about getting them posted.

Shelburne Falls. Beautiful spot. My Parents live near there--Western Mass go hit hard.

cccchressssttttt...~!!!!!

Here's the view from where I am now
Attachment 48191

Out here... Earl was much worse last year. No rain at all here. < 1/4" total. Wind to 45 and those were only gusts. Last year we had some real wind over 60 sustained.

I figured I spend $1000 and one full day to prepare for this non-event. I wonder if my insurance co will re-imburse me for my trouble.:jump1:

I will not listen to the weather experts again. I will make my own forecast. 5 days ago a cat 2 hurricane with winds 125mph was going to pass over BI and up thru RI/MA...today a 50 mph "storm" went well west of NYC and did little to nothing here. Grateful yes, overhyped...for sure.

It was overhyped but it caused plenty of damage here. Just looked over the videos. I have one where I am walking from the tree with the split to the other, next video sucked because I was running from the area, next video shows the tree at about 40 degrees and shows it falling the rest of the way down. I can't figure how to post it yet.......

Been snorkeling since 10 am, saw rays, tarpon, and all kinds of fish. I'm on my second dark and stormy. Life is good in the isands. House is going to wreak if no power. Ahh wel...... stay safe...ill stay buzzed, hot and stress free

Other than some flooding...there was no real hurricane damage, A few trees that should have been thinned out fell down, and a few streets flooded but no real hurricane damage. How many roofs were ripped clean off the house? TWC was focused on a house that was going to loose a few shingles!!! Most beaches are in decent shape. If a real hurricane ever makes it up here, you will see some damage. Poor Jim Cantore could not find a breeze to fly a kite in that storm.

The over reaction from Katrina is what caused all of this. Following that storm, Way too much gov money was spent to prepare for storms.
I thought fishermen exaggerated...weathermen are far worse. NOT ONE of the weather people would say the storm was weakening..not one. And it was breaking apart. They kept saying it was going to strengthen..it didn't.

I still think they should be held accountable for their public forecast, and then we should rank who the most accurate forecasters are...they hire forecaster's now for the best cleavage and whitest teeth. Just give me the facts and put your clothes back on.


Even Right now on CDD the headline says:
Weakened Irene still threat

IMO the gov has instructed the liberal media to follow their lead.

And don't give me better safe than sorry garbage...get it right.

Please everyone stay away from the surf, only trained meteorologists can walk against the wind and tell us how difficult it is just to stand up and inform us that the rain drops feel like needles.

New Bedford/Fairhaven is a mess. (atleast 10 boats have broken loose, im sure more by now)
Padanaram is the usual mess with boats on the beach.

Saw gusts up to 70, 40-50 sustained at Fairhaven Shipyard about 2 hours ago now.

And seriously?
Go pay Commanders or Locust for weather Sandman, you would have spent the same money for the same "liberal media" event you so seem to be obsessed with.

Don't you have googan gaffs to laugh at?

Would you feel that way if Giada where to broadcast the weather?:laugha:

It was blowing pretty good down here.

I have to admit that I am just a tad envious of the hum coming from my neighbors generator.

Obama is in the FEMA bunker, making sure everything is good
