So I'm growing concerned about Hurricane Irene the forecast looks like this: I live in New York City, the forecast is showing a possible land fall in North Carolina on Saturday and it might even make it to where I live. So, should I evacuate? (I never thought a Hurricane could actually hit NYC) |
| I think you should evacuate in any natural disaster. |
 |
| I can't even move into my dorm because of this hurricane. |
| "You watch too much." "I don't watch enough."  |
| If you look at the projected trajectory -- this hurricane will only be a scratch - just like any other hurricane that took similar paths. So, no need to panic here. |

| Good luck bro....I remember the Original forecast was showing landfall in Florida (where I live) but now we're saved :) Anyways, I don't think this Hurricane can make it to New York with a lot of strength. |
| i just think it'll just move around where i live instead of going through us. it'll be nothing to bad. then again.... |

| I'm not really worried, and I live on Long Island. Looks like it's gonna be pretty weak when it reaches us. |
 |
| And I believe - the East Coast panicked over a 5.8 earthquake far more, than they would over this storm. XD |

| It should be a level 1 storm by the time it reaches us in NYC. The most it will do is probably flip over your trash cans outside and collapse any half-deteriorated structure. But as always in a natural disaster take precautionary measures (I'm bunkering down in my basement D:<) |

atty said: They have, and in fact have used it for four other Atlantic basin hurricanes. Hurricane names are on a seven-year cycle and are reused until one causes particularly large loss of life or property damage, at which time they are "retired" by the World Meteorological Organization.I could have sworn they used the name Irene for a hurricane before. Irene looks like a downsized Gloria, with similar potential flood zones. |
  |
| Where I live is completely highlighted in red. I'm a little worried. I hope the storm will be weak by the time it reaches me. |
 |
| I live in New York City, so I should be safe. I'm not very worried. |

| Irene just pass me wanted it to hit us (Miami)but whatever. |
 |
| lol evacuate, ive heard that its supposed to get pretty close to my state (Maine) and suppposedly it might even hit parts of Canada, but realy all its gonna be at thie point is a kindy windy rainstorm... wouldnt be the first "huricane" to hit wont be the last, i doubt at most it'l probably make me close my window and thats about it... |

| Huh, looks like NYC is planning on shutting down all public mass transit if winds are getting too high and evacuating people from certain areas. |
 |
| It's gonna die down probably. No storm can that steam up that long. |
| I think you'll be fine. The storm won't be that strong, I think just category 1 is what they said on the news. But I live in Michigan and we don't get much here so I don't know, just take some precautionary measures. xD |
 |
| Hopefully it doesnt hit us hard...i even have to postpone my college move in because of it.. |
 |
| Good thing I live inland. |
 |
| Haha my mother's name is Irene. She's getting all obsessive over the weather reports, claiming "it's a sign!". it's actually starting to get on my nerves. -.-V |
| Hurricane neva experienced one jus the after effect i live in the N.y.c too >.< im scared >:( |
| Must suck for the north, Here in Florida been dodging hurricanes for like a couple of years now and sending either to Texas or up north and your infrastructure is probably not prepared at all. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| It'll weaken a lot as it climbs up north. It already went down from a Category 3 to a 2. It can only weaken for here. :) I live in Massachusetts, so it won't even be a hurricane by the time it gets up here. Just some wind and rain. I don't think people need to panic, but at least be prepared. |

| You are safe. If the hurricane touches land then it will lose its strength and never actually get to you. In reality the only area in new york that it is really going to take damage is long island. So there really is nothing to worry about. |

| This hurricane is kind of just a hassle. My dorm move in day got moved because it. Sigh. Pain in the ass. But it's okay. I just hope that everything will be alright and everyone will be safe. |

Yea who needs Long Island anyway I live on Long Island, and even I agree with this. First the earthquake a couple of days ago, now this. What's next? Oh, well. For now, I'm prepared. As prepared as I can possibly be, I guess. I'll let you guys know if I die or something.

Must be real easy to sit there in your cozy little mid-western home making light of such situations when you've never experienced it. While the quake was definitely overplayed especially here in NYC, I'd rather have people freak out and ask questions than sit idly by doing jack shit. This isn't the west coast with their daily morning wakeup earthquake alarms. And why shouldn't people freak out about a Cat 2 hurricane? Have you lived in a house on the coast during a hurricane before? Ever had it flood into your house for a whole day straight from torrential rains? Hell, weakened storm or not, places like NYC have ample reason to worry. All that water will easily flood the tunnels and subway systems. Imagine how long it'll take and the money required to clean all that shit up. Cue "lolumad" "ysosrs" "otherpeoplehavehaditworse" "lolsarcasm" herpa derpa troll post |

It's not going to change the end result. The hurricane is headed right for me, but I am not worried at all. |

| Better safe than sorry. It may only be a cat 2 but it can still cause considerable damage. |
| Category 2? It's a category 1 Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale Category Wind speed Category 1 74–95 Category 2 96–110 Category 3 111–130 Category 4 131–155 Category 5 ≥ 156 Hurricane IRENE 2:00 PM EDT Sat Aug 27 Location: 35.5°N 76.3°W Max sustained: 85 mph Moving: NNE at 15 mph Min pressure: 950 mb I've been through both Katrina and Ike... Irene ain't shit. |
