[AsburyPark] Fwd: Hurricane Irene - August 27th - 5am

Eastern Daylight Time Subj: Hurricane Irene - August 27th - 5am Approaching StormHURRICANE WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE ENTIRE NEW JERSEY COAST HURRICANE IRENE TO IMPACT NEW JERSEY TONIGHT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY MORNING HURRICANE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH NEW ENGLAND Membership Feedback AUGUST 27TH - 5:00 AM Hurricane Irene is located about 90 miles south of the Outer Banks and about 440 miles south of New Jersey. The hurricane has continued to weaken as measured by highest sustained winds, which are down to 90 mph, however the central pressure has not risen meaning Irene remains a very large hurricane with strong winds over a huge area...but lacking a tight central core of extreme winds. This does not change the projected effects as outlined here over the last couple of days. This does however eliminate the threat of winds over 80mph. Irene is looking more and more like a flooding threat and not a damaging wind threat. It is interesting to observe that Cape Hatteras just gusted to 83mph and Irene is about 110 miles from that location. So, to reiterate, the central core is weakening but the large wind field remains in tact. Rain begins this afternoon and ends by Noon on Sunday with 5 to 10 inches of rain expected and localized amounts approaching 15 inches. Winds will increase tonight out of the east...the worst of the winds will be between midnight and noon. Although the winds will shift to west after the center passes. The center will pass Atlantic City around 5:00am, Long Beach Island between 6:00am and 7:00am and the Neptune area around 8:00am. Many areas may experience a calm period as the center of the storm moves over. Gusty west winds will then move in for a period of several hours. Sunday afternoon is looking more and more as if sunshine will return and winds begin to slacken. The Sunday morning 7am high tide is of concerneast winds will have been blowing for many hours and the tide is astronomically high. This tide is likely to be 4 or 5 above normal which will be high enough to bring water over the boardwalk is some areas and also flood areas around back bays and lakes. Also remember that coastal lakes that drain into the ocean will not be able to at high tide so flooding from rain around these lakes is likely. To sum upthis will be a very nasty storm but the potential for widespread devastation and structural damage seems to be off the table at this hour. I dont want to downplay the event and leave the impression that all is well, but I have been hearing a lot of doomsday talk from media outlets and I dont see that occurring with Irene. I will be putting quick observations on the web site from time to time as we watch Irene make her way towards us. AUGUST 26TH - 9:00 PM Hurricane Irene is about 200 miles south-southeast of the Outer Banks and about 550 miles south-southeast of the NJ coast. Highest sustained winds have decreased to 100mph, however the radius of tropical storm force and hurricane winds is massive. The cloud shield from Irene extends from Long Island to central Florida. The satellite imagery of Irene was not overly impressive during the day but has improved a bit over the last few hours. Irene will make landfall late tonight over eastern North Carolina and continue on a track near or just east of Norfolk, VA tomorrow morning. Because the hurricane is very large, it is important not to focus on the actual center of the storm because there is really no chance that we escape the brunt of Irene. Tropical storm force winds will arrive near or just before midnight tomorrow night and continue late morning on Sunday. Six foot swells have reached our waters and the high tide that just past around 6pm this evening reached about half way between the standard high water mark and the dunes in Ocean Grove. This is a bit disconcerting because we are still three high tide cycles from the highest tide expected Sunday morning. The remaining aspects of the morning forecast remain in effect including the projected rainfall and winds. Next update will be Saturday morning AUGUST 26TH - 1:00 PM HURRICANE WARNING CONTINUES Midday forecast guidance reveals no changes in forecast track Highest winds are 105mph, no further strengthening is expected. Irene is a very large hurricane and strong winds extend well out from the center so this lack of additional strengthening really does not impact the expected conditions in our area. The eye of Irene will likely be passing over the NJ coast between 5am and 7am down near Cape May and between 8am and 10am in the Neptune

My feeling is, hopefully we do not get a storm surge and the flooding is not so bad. But... if it is a worse case scenario and you need to be rescued, then you are not only in danger but you put those who may need to rescue you in danger. For me, I removed my valuables to the extent I really have any, set the alarm and I hope for the best. (And I have insurance and took video of what the house looked like before leaving for the insurance) I have a young child and I would not want to put anyone in danger. I think the issue with this storm is how slow moving it is and how much rain and surge it could generate. I saw Deal Lake overflow from just heavy rain. The looting is hopefully what the curfew is meant to prevent. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Claire Davids claire.davids@... wrote: That was one of my worries too - looting.

PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY SHOULD BE RUSHED TO COMPLETION At 5:00 am Hurricane Irene was located about 700 miles south of the NJ coast with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. The hurricane has deepened overnight as evidenced by a drop in central pressure (943mb) however this deepening has translated into a more expansive wind field rather than higher winds around the center. Hurricane force winds now extend outward from the center by almost 100 miles and tropical storm force winds extend outward about 300 miles. Forecast guidance overnight has changed very little as far as the track is concerned and Irene is still forecast to track over or just east of the NJ coast. At this point there should be little focus on the track since Irene is such a large storm, there will be major effects from the storm regardless. One important trend overnight is to accelerate Irene just a bit. This has a significant impact in that it is going to bring the worst of Irene's wrath closer to that all important Sunday 7am high tide. Irene's closest passage looks to NJ looks to be between 8am and 11am and any further acceleration is going to bring that window right into the high tide period. Rain will begin Saturday afternoon. Rain and increasing wind will begin around or just after midnight Saturday night. The worst of the hurricane will occur between 4am and Noon on Sunday when wind gusts of 80mph may occur. Winds will back to the west after Irene passes our latitude and remain gusty Sunday afternoon but skies will likely begin to clear. Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated amounts approaching 15 inches, are expected throughout the state. A storm surge of 3 to 6 feet is forecast by the National Weather Service which will result in dangerous coastal flooding, complete washover of beaches and the potential for damage to boardwalks, piers and other beachfront

My outside furniture is really heavy iron furniture that is has holes, and my house has a little narrow area on the side and the back that is protected with high, solid fencing, so I shoved it all on the back and side of the house, laying it all down and tied it together. The low heavy iron table I tied to the deck post. Anything light I brought in. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, dfsavgny dfsavgny@... wrote: furniture in and what cant come in is tied down.
