Also, today marks the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah's death. It felt like I was watching the news and heard about her death yesterday. :/

General Weather Chat / Re: Mandatory evacuation - not for me!
« on: August 25, 2011, 08:53:00 PM »A mandatory evacuation simply means that emergency personal will not come out to save your ass if you don't leave. They probably wont force you from your home but may make note of who decided not leave.Correct, you're pretty much on your own if you have no food, water, or electricity for days.

« on: August 25, 2011, 04:55:53 PM »Whoa, Irene, looks like your track has shifted west a little!Ocean City is only 5 miles to my south. I might have to evacuate because they're discussing possible mandatory evacuations for those living in Atlantic CountyLooking at TWC's Hurricane Tracker, Irene may now make TWO landfalls: one on the Outer Banks of NC and one in Ocean City, NJ.
Also, to respond to your question Tavores, I thought Ike was bigger in size than Katrina, which means that Irene is bigger than Katrina.

« on: August 25, 2011, 03:38:15 PM »Yes, and it's not fair because I didn't know Explosions in the Sky had copyrighted issues. I want to counternotify my account..Suspensions last forever. Unless you file a counter-notification, once it's gone, it's gone for good.
Did you get any warning(s) for any other videos prior to that? If so, maybe that's why your account was automatically suspended instead of warned.

Folks, please remove your videos with "Your Hand in Mine" by Explosions in the Sky. I got a copyright stike for uploading my LF clip with that song and now my account is suspended. Really mad right now because I want it back!

« on: August 25, 2011, 01:34:25 PM »And consequently, that's where I live. My house actually faces the boardwalk and when we had several close calls, we got nothing more than just rain and wind. I'm not evacuating though - too much hassle.They keep saying NJ, NY and southern MA will be the hardest hit, but I have a feeling it'll be nothing more than just a rainstorm
TWC's Hurricane Tracker has the center of the storm passing right over Atlantic City. Are you sure about that?

What is taking TWC so long to start storm alert, if there even is one?

This is like the first ICHT episode: a Cat 3 hitting NYC. The worst of all, none of our neighbors or friends are even paying attention to the storm. They're too busy planning for the mall or movies this weekend.

Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Irene
« on: August 25, 2011, 01:12:34 PM »As Vivian Brown said the other day, "We are hyping up this storm and rightfully so." Some folks are only looking at the small picture with Irene, it may only be at Cat. 1/2 once it gets past the NC, but she is massive, coming close to Katrina's size and even more bigger since the eyewall replacement cycle hurricane force winds extend out well over 70 miles and tropical storm force winds nearly 300 miles. My concern is not more so the winds for the NE, it's the rain. Irene reminds me so much of Ike, it has a very low pressure equaling out to a Cat. 4, but winds are lagging. Ike was able to do some amazingly devastating damage despite only having Cat. 2 winds. In the case of Irene, the damage risk is much higher because you're talking aboutThey keep saying NJ, NY and southern MA will be the hardest hit, but I have a feeling it'll be nothing more than just a rainstorm
-Irene affecting a very large real estate of population.
-Over saturated soil in the NE making it more easier for trees to fall even if you only experience weak tropical storm winds.
-Flooding/possible high storm surge in some areas.
Noone should be underestimating what Irene has the potential to do. With Irene and any hurricane you should expect the worse and hope for the best.

« on: August 25, 2011, 11:41:08 AM »Except for the LDL, i'm shocked that TWC is not in Red Mode yet, yet alone Storm Alert (If there is a Storm Alert anymore) Could TWC be getting the red stuff ready for Storm Alert? I wonder if we'll see a L Bar like we did for Earl??Me neither. I think TWC will go into some alert mode tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully they will bring it back
