Irene good night Irene good night
Good night Irene Good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm gonna take a little stroll downtown

Irene good night Irene good night
Good night Irene Good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Some times I live in the country
Some times I live in town
Some times I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

Irene good night Irene good night
Good night Irene Good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Quit your rambling quit your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Stay home with your wife and family
And stay by the fireside of right

Irene good night Irene good night
Good night Irene Good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Irene good night Irene good night
Good night Irene Good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Hopefully this is the only hurricane this year. It will be bad enough if NOAA is right about the track.

Everyone stay safe.

anyone around Hatteras and that big area and the jersey coast up towards NYC, needs to get faraway from the coast and flood plains ect... if you remain, you're a fool! Just because it might not hit direct or be severe, isn't a reason to gamble...

Irene evacuations, transit shutdown ordered in NYC

(AP) Associated Press — In an unprecedented decision, nearly 300,000 people who live in flood-prone areas of New York City were ordered to evacuate Friday as Hurricane Irene sets its sights on the nation's largest city. New Yorkers, many of them without cars, don't have much time to get out of the way before the city shutters its subways, buses and trains on Saturday.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered an evacuation by 5 p.m. Saturday for low-lying areas that house about 270,000 people. The areas include the Battery Park City complex on the southern end of Manhattan; Coney Island, famed for its boardwalk and amusement park; the beachfront community of the Rockaways and other neighborhoods around the city.

Meanwhile, subways, buses and commuter trains in the city, on Long Island and in the northern suburbs will begin their final runs around noon Saturday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials have said they can't run the transit system once sustained winds reach 39 mph, and they need an eight-hour lead time to shut it down. Officials have entreated residents to take it upon themselves to get out early, but it remained unclear how many would heed the warnings that subways and buses might not be there for them if they waited.

While the evacuation was a first for New Yorkers, "I would think that the vast bulk will comply," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference. "Unfortunately, there's a handful who will not comply until it's too late. And at that point in time, you can really get stuck."

"Waiting until the last minute is not a smart thing to do," he added. "This is life-threatening."

Meanwhile, shelters were set to open and other preparations continued as the city faced the likelihood of its first hurricane warning since 1985. A hurricane watch was in effect Friday for New York City and Long Island for Sunday, with storm conditions possible Saturday night.

State Director of Operations Howard Glaser said the noon shutdown should provide "sufficient capacity" to get residents out of vulnerable areas. Cuomo said the decision would keep subways and buses "out of harm's way" so service can return as soon as possible after the storm.

The MTA has never before halted its entire system — which carries about 5 million passengers on an average weekday — in advance of a storm, though the system was seriously hobbled by an August 2007 rainstorm that disabled or delayed every one of the city's subway lines. The last planned shutdown of the entire transit system was during a 2005 strike.

Said MTA Chairman Jay Walder, "We're working forward on a plan that will do two things: It will help effectuate the evacuation ... and it will protect the safety of our customers and protect the safety of our equipment."

We got sideswiped by Irene on Wednesday here next to Kennedy Space Center, though the center was well out to sea we still got 40 m.p.h. gusts and squalls from the feeder bands that dumped a few inches of rain in a hurry...the waves at the beach were 9-12 feet....imagine what a storm surge that size could do to the Jersey shore and Coney Island and all those low lying areas. We deal with storms frequently down here but you all don't...my advice to you is GET OUT OF DODGE!!!

Fortunately, Irene is in a path where the storm won't do any damage in the middle of NC, where I'm at. However, I have heard a few mini tornadoes have hit certain spots on the east coast of the state and over 165 thousand people are without power. The crazy thing is I've seen news reports where there are a percentage of people sticking it out and not leaving. More power to them, but I think they are nuts. I do have family at the coast, so I am hoping they and the rest of the people that live on the NC coast make it through safely.

Because of the rampant, widespread immorality and venalistical vice in our filthy society, the Lord has forsaken the protections he once offered our great nation. I'm fucking serious about this. I can prove this hypothesis, with considerable and demonstrable facts (e.g. the stench of crack cocaine vapor in my hotel bathroom).

More evidence of the administration's financial incompetence:

Hurricane Irene forces FEMA to divert scarce disaster aid intended for Joplin to East Coast

08-29-2011 10:38 AM CDT
ST. LOUIS (Associated Press) --

Some federal money pledged to tornado-ravaged Joplin and other disaster sites is being diverted to help victims of Hurricane Irene.

Bob Josephson of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Monday that FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund is running low. He says individual aid to victims of the May 22 tornado that destroyed about one-third of Joplin will continue, but money for long-term public repair and rebuilding projects will be used for immediate disaster relief on the East Coast.

Josephson says it will be up to Congress to restore full funding to Joplin and other places hit by disasters earlier this year.

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill tells The Associated Press she will work to ensure that Joplin gets the promised money.
