Sbrideau Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We are getting some heavy winds at the moment. I don't think we are going to get much rain here though, which is bad because we need some rain. Here it is quite different, we got enough rain this year that even in the spring it drowned seeds in some fields. Last week was the first week of the year with a majority of sun and not rain.

Lenticular_J Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The differences between where I live and the East Coast amaze me. I guess because there's so much wind and so little rain here already, plants and trees must take a tighter hold in the ground, as one article about Irene claimed general winds of 33 mph, gusts of 47 mph. That's average wind in the spring here. However, 7 inches of rain would probably flood this place beyond all recognition. Very interesting. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussetAlpha Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hope everyone's ok and safe. Tropical Storm Irene looks like it's going to move away from the USA and into Canada in the later hours. I'm looking at it right now in New England from Cali. Kinda funny how that one guy wanted to swim in the water on those streets.

magekillr Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Neighbor's house below. Well, I wouldn't call this "splitting the house in half," but it did destroy the one half of the house in the back. It still shouldn't cost that much money.

Randox Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Nova Scotia is got clouds all day today, and some nice fog (its always nice when you can't find the silver car in your own driveway. Seasonal cloaking device) along the coast and in the Harbour. We've got some wind now, but no rain as of yet that I know of. But the storm is going around us to the west (that's a first in living memory for me, though I hear that hurricanes have actually gone in far enough to cross the great lakes a few times many years ago), so most of what we will get is wind, and not rain (I'd rather it be the other way). For once its the other side of the province that gets to worry (NB side), because the storm is going to hit at high tide with a storm surge, so parts of the province are probably going to go under for a while (and the Bay of Funday should have one heck of a tide going). Maybe we can get through this without losing power for once <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was making my rounds through town, a good sized branch slammed into a van that I passed a few feet from me. Scared me enough to stay inside for the rest of the night.

Sbrideau Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 In the North-East of NB there's quite a bit of wind now, but not so much rain. I would've liked it better if Edmunston got the wind and us the rain since we can take that rain without flooding too much, but Edm is in a bad spot with all that rain.

xSxqPowerx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I was in Florida on vacation when it still looked like it was going to hit there, but it ended up swerving north and I wasn't hit at all, fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebird308 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Marylander here. I got hit. Power went out at one in the morning and stayed out until three in the afternoon. I got to spend my night and some of the morning helping to try to keep the basement from flooding.

sees_all1 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Been hearing on the news and reading on drudge that the storm and its coverage were a bit overblown. Seems like the biggest deal was and is flooding, winds and surge (the hurricane element) not so much.

Lenin64 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 My parents live near DC. Apparantly it just rained a bunch and got kinda windy. Nothing to write home about on that end, but apparantly some places up near Alexandra lost power. Command the Murderous Chalices!
