New Yorkers are so arrogant. IMO they need a Cat Five hurricane just to show them who is boss. I hope one hits them.

So far, this one has not been as bad as Isabel in 04'. Isabel took down a couple of live healthy trees on my property and did some damage to our car and house and so far this storm (thankfully) hasn't lived up to that. The only problem I'm having is keeping water out of my basement (which is nothing new, every time we get hard rains here I have a wet basement). My aunt and uncle, and my cousin, who are 45 mins closer to the coast, have already lost power. But with Isabel our power was out for 3 days and across the road (different substation) they were without for 8 days.

so more than likely - it is going to get worse.

I'm wondering why there is all the panic. Are your houses/infrastructure in such a bad condition that wind with >100mph is a catastrophy? Of cause such high wind speeds and all the rain from above isn't nice but evacuating a city for it?
Irene has changed little in appearance in satellite imagery...but the radar depiction has degraded over the past few hours. An Air Force reconnaissance aircraft investigating the hurricane this evening has found 700 mb flight-level winds of 92 kt and SFMR winds of 66 kt in a small area more than 100 nmi east of the center. Based on this information...the intensity of Irene is being maintained at 70 kt for this advisory. It should be noted that the wind field graphics based on the four-quadrant radii will depict an unrealistically large area of hurricane-force winds.
