If Irene brushes or completely misses the tip of Cape Hatteras and makes a run towards SE Mass as a Cat 2 or 3 the damage would be catastrophic

Do you sit at a very low elevation and are you gathering up any hurricane supplies to ride it out?

Yes, if evacuations are out i will ride the storm out my family has enough supplies to last about 2 weeks after the storm.

and i do sit on a very low elevation only 200 feet above sea level

Steph said at the end of YWT, she's heading to the Outer Banks for Hurricane Irene tomorrow.

She said on her Facebook yesterday "Seriously need to pack, but if you were to place me and Jim Cantore for Hurricane Irene coverage where would you put us & why? The Weather Channel and weather.com"

so Jim is going also.

Found this interesting from the NHC forecast discussion

SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN STRENGTH COULD OCCUR IN 1 TO 2 DAYS
DUE TO EYEWALL REPLACEMENTS.  IN FACT...THE UW-CIMSS OBJECTIVE
TECHNIQUE SHOWS A CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL
PROBABILITY OF SECONDARY EYEWALL FORMATION WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS.
THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS CLOSE TO THE NUMERICAL CONSENSUS
AND LIES BETWEEN THE GFDL/HWRF MODELS AND THE LGEM GUIDANCE.

I think the dynamite is about to be lit with Irene, I believe RI (rapid intensification) is occurring. Also the eye is appearing again.

if Irene does rapidly intensify, how much do you think the wind speed, wind direction, and how many MB's will the pressure fall?

Whats going on with the radar in the corner of the screen? It keeps bobbing up and down and jiggling. It affects part of the LDL they broadcast as well. (Not the part generated by the IS) Its very odd

Irene put a spell on it
