Christie Urges Shore Visitors To Leave Before Storm

 

EWING, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey's governor is asking all visitors to its seashore to get out by midday Friday because Hurricane Irene is poised to be a "serious, significant event."

 

Gov. Chris Christie also is telling people planning to visit the shore this weekend to stay home.

 

Christie also is declaring a state of emergency. He did not make evacuations mandatory but says he would consider them if people didn't heed the state's warnings.

 

Irene is not expected to make landfall in New Jersey. But

forecasters say it is likely to come close enough to the already rain-soaked state to cause flooding all across New Jersey. Winds also could take down power lines.

 

Way to end the summer eh? :confused:

CHRISTINA

she's not gonna get hit, i'm much closer :confused:

this looks like it's going to be really bad.

 

 

at least i don't live close enough to the water to worry about the river overflowing and flooding. I'm mostly worried about falling trees from heavy winds.

Has Irene already hit NYC? Somebody I know wants to fly to Europe from JFK, it would be kinda important that he can do that.

JFK is still running, eastbound also. He'll make it.

Good luck to you guys.

Is it OCD? :P

Is it OCD? :P

 

You can say that :awesome: you can also call it showing off, but no one around here appreciates aviation around here :P

Aaaaw, I think it's a really nifty topic to develop OCD for though, aviation.

So, just because I suffer from insomnia, I'll tell you, that a cousin of mine is married to an F16-bomber-pilot from the Italian airforce. And he told me that he actually sometimes gets petechiae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petechia) from flying so fast. He's a tad crazy, btw. haha. End of outburst of randomness.

 

Again, good luck to you eastcoasters, when Irene hits your places.

As always I'll go crazy with pictures and video thanks! :P And awesome, F-16s are awesome but if a bomber is what you're looking for: B-1 :awesome:

CHRISTINA

 

I'M HERE ANETTE DON'T WORRY.

 

I think I'll actually be away when Irene hits so I'm fine

haha, thank god

 

we don't want you to get hurt :blush:

Oh yah, let the Asian bare through the storm alone :nod: where's the Delorean

Back in 1985~

Just got back from the beach a little bit ago. The waves were intense, and the sky was amazing until the sun went down and I couldn't see my car. I swear the water feels colder whenever there is a storm close by.

should be weaker by the time it gets up there

unless their warm water...and it's still summer :uhoh:

I'd be so scared....:uhoh:

 

hmmm good luck guys:\

Its gonna be a category 2 hurricane by the time it gets to me , Christina, and Nick

 

As always I shall post eye witness video like the boring piece of space I am

It won't be that bad - get a wind surf board and hit the beach!! Plus, the beach will be clear of all those late summer vacationers!:laugh3: Think of all the fun and excitement!

The meadowlands will be wetlands though. ;) Better move the beaver lodges to higher ground! :P

haha, thank god

 

we don't want you to get hurt :blush:

 

Aw, you're so sweet Anette. :hug:

:blush:

 

My grandparents are in NC right where the hurricane hit land- they said they have little to no damage to the house but they have no electricity. They also said that the last part of the storm was worse than the first half

 

and it just started pouring here, I'm thinking it's some spot showers from the hurricane?

 

my dog is starting to freak out too, poor thing

 

 

 

and i would not suggest that ^

Hm...I was in Middletown and it was drizzling, these football players I swear :wreck: I predict we have until 8PM, I have a suitcase packed, and my knowledge of survival on stand by, be safe Christinuh :P
