Hurricane Earl

bust out anotha thousand!!

Tony he will be calling you for another purchase.

In addition to getting all of our crap ready to go camping this weekend i have to storm-prep the house as well...just in case.

Its funny how someone's disaster is always someones elses goldmine...

Was talking to our oil field expert... he mentioned it is targeting NYC/long island at Cat 4.

God for their sake I hope not.

The projected path from the varying sources seem to keep edging towards the coastline, ugh. All I want is a quiet labor day weekend.

Start loading those magazines. I'm kinda excited. lol.

 

My car will get a good wash.

We definitely need a good solid rain, but we don't need 60mph sustained winds and flash flooding.

Just dont hope its too bad, or the govt will come and take your guns just like in Katrina...

:mrgreen:

I relying on the government to take care of me.

YEZZIR im always talking about scenarios and how to be prepared, people say itll never happen but who really knows?

here is my weather info. Dont ask where I get it from.

 

The storm is presently supposed to have a max wind of 115 kts and max gusts of 140kts at 3am on Saturday, making Hurricane Earl a strong category 4. We are currently adjusting our track a little more westward around Friday bringing the storm to the close proximity of the Long Island area with possible strong impact on the island of Manhattan. Our confidence in this proposed track is 50%. Please check in later for the adjusted graphic and updated advisories.

Speaking of lights and cheap, I recommend Mini Maglites (AAA or AA version). They're cheap (less then $20), and have the "candle" mode (the LED version does not as far as I know). Its pretty bright, and I have at least a handful of these around the house and two in my vehicle (with snap lights to complement). I usually see them around in most hardware stores.

Ben the LED model does. I have one in AA and it's great. You just can't stare at the light with the top off in candle mode cause you'll see spots.

:mrgreen:

 

Somehow I don't see that scenario working out for them.

 

Let's see.....

10 lbs brown rice, 25 lbs dry beans, 1 gallon olive oil, 10 gallons of water... Oh don't mind me.

Nice, Chris. I bought my Mini's a couple years back before the whole LED thing took off. So, even better alternative.

 

And yea, rice, cooking oil, and canned fish (or something similar) is all a person/family needs, albeit boring, ha... but just add some salt, tabasco, etc, and it'll be good to go.

Flooding is our biggest threat in this state. Wet soil, wind, trees down...no power, road blocks, no first responders, no food / gas / beer deliveries. Hospitals are only regulated to keep 4 days of O2 on hand and the list goes on. Stock up on some water, canned chicken / tuna, Sterno cans, batteries and lay low for a few days is the best idea if you can. If you have a generator, do not be running it at night and letting the da'hood see that your 60" Plasma TV is up and running and your Tiki Bar is open for biz'natch. Stay invisible and stay safe. The value of having a good quality chain saw and extra chains, oil, gloves etc. will be coming into play. I do this shit for a living.

Appears to be moving off to the east. No hurricane force winds in NJ...just lots of rain and heavy surf.

 

Damn... imagine if this thing hits land on the Jersey Shore Cat 2? Dang... friggin 90-100mph winds!

 

Ah that's nothing, my wife - Hurricane Jackie, hits better than 90mph winds when she hits full on rant mode... When the howling begins and crap starts flying you just hunker down with another beer and wait it out. No problem.

Wojo, I knew right away you'd be a great addition to the forum. thanks! hey fellas, how about starting up a general "preparedness" thread? because we have this one here, and that one there :

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10525

 

how about sort of making one...

 

(yah, Feliks, so create it you say... well, I'm just a FNG too, I already started enough dumba** threads, someone else do it!)
