Storm Thread: Photos, Jokes, Vids, & Panics
 

Figured I would start a thread ;)

Halfway up Gansett Bay, wind is blowing in the low 30's gusting higher. Already larger limbs are down.

Bay is coming up the end of my street (nothing to worry on where I live) but supposedly a couple streets over one of the small houses along the beach was taken out. If that is happening here - God help those on the beaches out front.

Couple pics:

the RAPTURE is here

Repent all ye

send me your plugs

I came home. Only a matter of time before I lost power with all the trees down.

Not real windy here in the valley. It's pretty nasty up on the hill.

The Sakonnet looked pretty full an hour ago, but it's a big tide to begin with. Don't think it's enough to cause any flooding though...aside from the houses down by Riverside marine. Many of them have crawl spaces just above the high water line.

Had an 8 ich twig fall on my truck this am......no damage thankfully. Overhyped rainstorm is all it is here in the south shore. I am headed out to return my batteries, candles, milk and water!

The Ocean Mist really needs a webcam,wonder how that neighborhood is holding up?

went out for Breakfeat >as usual .just tasted better

Plenty of places open .

rock & roll @ the marina ,

boats getting a good washing / be set to go when the wind swings to the west & then lays down .

With the Pats, Sox & the race last night >>>I guess its a under the covers afternon delight ><><>:drool:

I laid in bed till 8:30 waiting for coffee and no one brought it to me, I had to get up and make my own

The wind is blowing pretty good here E.S.E. raining but not heavy,my neighbor has a couple of old trees down in his yard and that's all of the excitement I have for yous guys.
So whats the status on this storm,is it over us now or what:huh:

OK, here is a shot down the street, the bay and marsh is about 1/2 mile from were I am standing. This is were the hurricane made landfall here in NJ.:uhuh:
Not a tree down, no flooding nothing but small puddles on street!!

GO CLAMMER

I believe it's going to be moving NE across CT for several hours...we should get more wind until around noon and the rain tapering off by afternoon.

We are on the east side, wind mostly till around 9pm. 40Kts in Woonsocket.

pretty cool squirrel vid, many would be lining that thing in the x-hairs

It hasn't been too bad so far. I woke up around 3 and it was blowing 20-30. I'd say, right now, consistently 40 with gusts over 50. We had a monster gust about 5 minutes ago that caused a brief power blip. MMA and Taylor's Point stayed dry on the AM high--we'll see what the evening brings with the wrap-around SW winds.

The rain is basically over here--it's a wind event. And it definitely stepped up a notch in the last half-hour.

This is in Bournedale, just north of the Canal and 3 miles from CC Bay.

My girl filled up both bath tubs with water just in case. So I wake up and jump in the shower and it's ice cold. She filled up one of the tubs with hot water by mistake! So she comes in and sees me sitting in the tub and says WTF are you doing! I laughed and asked if she was planning on making ramen noodles in the tub.

6" limbs down here.
One took out part of neighbors deck, another bounced off the roof with no damage.

gusts to 50 measured w/ my anemometer.

No power in Tiverton.

Does this mean I can let the water out of my bath tub now ???:smash::smash::smash:

My wife filled it in case the water main broke and we had to use the toilet. I swear some of her friends are friggen geniuses :wall:

:rotf2:

once the make-up got washed off, not much to Irene.

I woulda knocked that thing off the branch at 60 yards :love:

10 Dead and 4 million without power... And I'm sure some pretty bad flooding (freshwater) in western neighboring states... I see no overhype on this one... It's a big world outside of our own backyards...
