Quoting P451:
For Virgina northward: You are looking at a Hurricane Gloria repeat if the present forecast holds..



Remember, Gloria struck at LOW TIDE in NJ on that day. I remember I was there. Barrier "island" from Long Branch to Sandy Hook. Water levels were into the second story of all the buildings in Sea Bright, NJ. Just keep that in mind...low tide it hit.

I was in college and they were cancelling everything around Baltimore. It really didn't do much inland. I don't think we got much rain.

I believe it passed 60 miles East of OCMD.

P451 that first map you posted puts that track over my house.

Looks to me like 12z ECMWF shifted back east a little, with track over VA Beach, then Ocean City MD. That's a relief for those of us in DC/Baltimore -- that 0z run was too close.

Anyone know what kind of effect the new moon will have on the tides and storm surge, especially with Irene hitting Saturday evening into Sunday evening around the Mid-Atlantic

Haha, that sounds like an atmosphere-less micro planet.

Check out http://www.weather.gov/ You can input your zip or town. Astronomical tides are definite factor. I did not haul out our boat, we are secured in port off Barnegat bay. Hope this helps.

I was supposed to fly out today, but instead, thanks to the afternoon T-storms and an unreliable United Airlines staff, we were able to enjoy 6 frigid hours sitting around in the oldest of airports before finally being cancelled upon entirely and sent home until tomorrow. The only worry for me is, if this doesn't happen we may not get out thanks to Irene. Perhaps I should replace worry with hope.

I would love to go visit my friends in Seattle and Portland, but how often does a Northeast resident have the opportunity to experience not only one of the most extreme powers of nature, but the way the inhabitants of this planet prepare and respond to such an event. It looks like it will be a minimal hurricane in terms of wind when it hits us, but just the fact that it'll probably be a hurricane really excites me. I do worry about the flooding though...that could be really dire news.

All in all, I hope to fly west tomorrow while still secretly hoping to be here to witness something most people would rather not be a part of. If that makes me weird or crazy, then I'm a happily crazy weirdo.

Quoting Blizzard92:
Looks like more rain back home towards Harrisburg today with radar estimates over 1in for today. Just what we needed in Linglestown, lol.

I didn't get that much. Storm passing through now, but it moved just to my south.

i will have my boat out by Saturday. I am in Fenwick Island, DE. It's protected, but the water levels could get up to 10' above normal from what I was told.
