I hope Mr. Walker is ok...... Actually he's to mean to let a little wind bother him.





New York is getting ready to face Hurricane Irene, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday.

Speaking at a press conference outside St. Luke's Baptist Church in Queens, Bloomberg said the city was keeping a close eye on the storm's progression and making sure it could cope if heavy rains and up to 60-mph winds arrive this weekend.

"The city has already seen the power of Mother Nature this week," Bloomberg said, referring to the earthquake which shook the city Tuesday.

The city is "hoping for the best, preparing for the worst," he added.

New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie has declared a state of emergency for New Jersey, and is asking people to steer clear of the Jersey shore this weekend.

The declaration that will allow the state to deploy resources as they prepare for the storm.

Hurricane Irene is expected to arrive in the New York area late Saturday or Sunday with the most ferocious Category 2 weather predicted for the eastern parts of Long Island.

Meteorologists warned its exact path remains hard to anticipate and it could change track at any moment.

Bloomberg said New York City itself was unlikely to experience the worst of the weather, but evacuations were possible for some low-lying areas such as Coney Island and Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, and The Rockaways in Queens.

South Beach and other coastal Staten Island areas, as well as Battery Park City in Manhattan could also be at risk of flooding.

The Mayor said any decision to evacuate would not happen until late Friday, and it would likely be a recommendation, rather than an order.

A total of 270,000 people would be affected by such an order, Bloomberg said.

To prepare for the imminent storm - which has wreaked a path of destruction through parts of the Caribbean and is expected to hit the Carolinas by the weekend - officials recommended packing a bag with essentials and moving items to upper floors in a house.

Residents in areas at risk of evacuation were urged to seek alternative shelter.

"See if that long lost cousin would be willing to put you up overnight," Bloomberg said.

The city has been coordinating with the MTA and state authorities to ensure adequate safeguards are in place ahead of Irene's arrival.

The NYPD is deploying 33 police boats and putting another 50 small boats at precincts.

The Office of Emergency Management command center is open, and hospitals are checking that emergency generators function.

One of the biggest concerns could be falling trees and branches, an issue the Parks Department and the Department of Sanitation were addressing.

Bloomberg urged New Yorkers not to swim in rough turf and said outreach to the homeless and elderly communities was being stepped up.

Editor's Note: Check out "Open Story: Hurricane Irene," a collaborative effort of CNN and iReport contributors who are documenting the storm as it moves across the Atlantic Ocean. Read more about Hurricane Irene from CNN affiliate WBOC.

Miami (CNN) -- Five governors declared states of emergency Thursday as Hurricane Irene threatened to wreak havoc along the United States' Eastern Seaboard.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley declared emergencies for their states, while North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue declared a state of emergency in counties east of Interstate 95. The emergency declarations allow states to free funds and prepare resources that may be needed.

If Irene continues along its current track, "from a flooding perspective, this could be a hundred-year event," Christie said. He encouraged voluntary evacuations to begin immediately. "Anybody who is on a barrier island should go," he said.

Christie said it was too soon to know whether there will be mandatory evacuations.



Hurricane Irene batters Bahamas

East Coast prepares for Irene

FEMA: People need to be ready to act

Charleston mayor worried about surge In parts of North Carolina, mandatory evacuations were under way Thursday.

The military moved more than two dozen ships out to sea ahead of the storm.

As of 2 p.m. ET, the Category 3 storm was pounding the Bahamas, with its eye over Abaco Island, the National Hurricane Center said.

Cat, San Salvador and Long islands "took direct hits," said Gayle Outten-Moncur of the National Emergency Management Agency. "There has been bad flooding in some areas."

By Thursday afternoon, no deaths or injuries had been reported in the island chain. Officials reported widespread power outages, impassable roads, downed trees and flooding in some spots. Still, they expected tourists to return by the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds were at 115 mph as the storm worked its way northwest.

"I didn't really want to take my chances," said Janeen Wall, who left her vacation spot in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, to make it back to Richmond, Virginia. "Also, if I waited for an evacuation order, I would have to share the road with more than a few thousand other folks trying to leave at the same time."

A mandatory evacuation order was in effect for residents and visitors in Hyde County, North Carolina, which includes Ocracoke Island, reachable only by boat or private plane, on the Outer Banks.

Ocracoke resident Farris O'Neal, 40, told CNN that for the first time he may head for the mainland instead of sticking out the storm. "It's different this time," he said. Since the last big storm, he has gotten married and had two children. "My wife is sick, and so's the baby."

Nearby Dare County, which includes Manteo, Nags Head, Duck and historic Kitty Hawk, had an evacuation order for tourists only.

Carteret County also issued a mandatory evacuation order for visitors in part of the county. On Friday, there will be a mandatory evacuation for all residents of Bogue Banks, said county spokesman Rodney Cates.

Ocean City, Maryland, Mayor Richard Meeham announced a mandatory evacuation beginning at midnight, CNN affiliate WUSA reported.

Sunday's dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, remains on schedule, officials said after studying the track of Irene. They will make another assessment Friday.

The cone of uncertainty -- the area that could be affected by Irene depending on what path it follows over the next several days -- includes much of the Northeastern. Even if the hurricane does not make landfall, heavy rains could trigger flooding.

"The biggest concern is getting people to pay attention and make sure they are ready," Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate said in an interview with CNN. Residents should have the necessary supplies and an evacuation plan ready, he said.

The National Hurricane Center has said Irene could strengthen to Category 4 status.

The storm could weaken as it works its way up the U.S. East Coast in the coming days. "As it gets closer to the Northeast, it will run into the cooler Labrador Current, and that -- along with some more wind shear -- should allow Irene to lose some strength," said HLN meteorologist Bob Van Dillen.

The U.S. Navy is sending 27 ships based in Norfolk, Virginia, out to sea to ride out Irene, a senior Navy official told CNN. An aircraft carrier is among them. Another 28 ships will seek more sheltered areas.

Three submarines were heading out to sea as well.

CNN's Larry Shaughnessy, on board the USS Wasp, could see several warships ahead and others behind as they steadily worked their way out into the Atlantic. There are 1,500 personnel on board the Wasp -- 1,000 sailors and 500 Marines. Things were orderly on the ship, Shaughnessy said.

While the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise was heading out, three others in Norfolk were in various states of maintenance and could not safely be put out to sea.

Military officials planned to make a decision Thursday about moving aircraft in the area, as well.

While Florida is not expected to get the worst of Irene, the state was feeling the storm's effects Thursday, said CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras.

"Rough surf, rip currents and erosion on Atlantic beaches and wind advisories with gusts to 40 mph expected," Jeras tweeted.

On the Bahamas island of Mayaguana, several churches reported damage, including losing parts of their roofs, the National Emergency Management Agency said. Dozens of homes were damaged, as well.

On Crooked Island, a high school's roof was blown off. Part of one church, St. John's Baptist, collapsed. On Acklins Island, a large portion of the settlement Lovely Bay was destroyed, and several homes were blown away, NEMA said.

A police station's roof was blown off on North Cat Island, along with other damage, Bahamas Information Services said.

Bahamas officials said they expected visitors to return quickly to the island. Airports were expected to be back in operation Friday morning and cruise ship ports were scheduled to reopen late Thursday.

"Initial assessment of the impact on major tourism areas in Nassau and Grand Bahama Island indicates limited damage and points to a quick return to normal operations," the Ministry of Tourism & Aviation said in a statement.

The death toll from Irene in the Dominican Republic increased to two, according to Jose Luis German, deputy director of the Emergency Operations Center in Santo Domingo. One person died in Puerto Rico.

South Carolina state officials have decided not to order evacuations but urged boaters and swimmers to stay out of the water.

Storm preparations were less intense along the Virginia coastline and the Eastern Shores of Maryland -- the area swamped by Hurricane Isabel in 2003.

One resident was hopeful that Irene would pass close by.

"Dear Irene, please bring rain. Thank you," read a handwritten sign on a mailbox in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, region, where residents are being affected by smoke from a stubborn wildfire that has been burning in the Dismal Swamp.

"Hurricane Irene may be the only way to get enough rainfall to assist the firefighters and put this relentless fire out," said Penelope Penn.

In Crisfield, Maryland, Ginger Wilson said her family will stay put as Irene approaches this weekend.

"We'll probably have some extra water, get some canned vegetables and foods, and make sure the pantry is full," she told CNN affiliate WBOC-TV. "Just have any extra supplies -- batteries, radios, anything that would be helpful."

The last major hurricane to strike the United States was Wilma in 2005, which was a Category 3 at landfall in southwest Florida, Jeras said.

Hurricane Katrina, earlier the same year, was also a Category 3 at landfall. The most recent hurricane to make landfall in the United States was Ike in 2008, which hit near Galveston, Texas, as a Category 2.

Irene is a good name for a hurricane. We had a crazy cleaning lady when I was growing up named Irene. I always would keep my room spotless because I didn't want Irene in my room. She was scared of snakes. Even fake toy ones. I loved snakes and had lots of toy ones. She would go bat shit nuts even seeing a rubber snake. She would drink Olympia beer and tomato juice together for lunch and your prescription pain killers and expensive scotch had a way of disappearing when Irene was around for some reason.

Why is it that hurricanes with female names are usually the worst ones?

Why is it that hurricanes with female names are usually the worst ones?

Because between 1953 (when the National Weather Service started naming the storms) and 1979, only female names were used. Since then, it's roughly a 50/50 mix of both genders. For one reason or another, the starting letters of Q, U, X, Y and Z are not used, leaving a list of 21 possible names for each year. There are six lists altogether, and they repeat the cycle at the end of each six year period. The pisser is, if a storm is particularly devastating and produces multiple casualties, only then is the name is retired (like Andrew in 1992).

Even in the current era where male names are also used, the female named storms still seem worse than the male storms. Maybe it's because they are on the rag?

Even in the current era where male names are also used, the female named storms still seem worse than the male storms.

That may be a perception, yet it is statistically untrue, at least according to my local paper (reprinted in the Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-hc-080100-malestorms,0,3260524.story)). :)

'Male' hurricanes pack a deadlier wallop, statistics show

By Ken Kaye South Florida Sun-Sentinel

When it comes to hurricanes, boys hit harder than girls.

Since 1979, when the National Hurricane Center began alternating male and female storm names, Atlantic hurricanes with male monikers have caused four times as much damage: $13 billion for the six costliest female storms compared to $53 billion for the six costliest male storms.

In the same period, five storms with male names left more than 11,800 people dead, while the 58 hurricanes with female names killed less than 100. The difference is even more dramatic when one considers that in the past five decades, the 10 deadliest female storms have claimed 1,316 victims.

The National Hurricane Center says despite their names, hurricanes really should not be considered male or female because all are constructed the same.

"It's really a gender neutral situation," said research meteorologist Colin McAdie, who stressed there is no correlation between a hurricane's name and its destructive power.

"Any meteorologist will tell you it's really luck of the draw. That's really the message here," he said.

The hurricane center, based in Miami-Dade County, started giving storms female names in 1953.

In 1979, to be politically correct, the center alternated male names. All the names are kept on lists maintained by the World Meteorological Organization.

"The whole idea of names was just to give people something easy to identify rather than a string of letters or numbers," McAdie said.

Weather observers say female-named storms would seem to be more punishing because they have been around longer.

For example, Hurricane Audrey left 390 dead along the Louisiana and Texas coasts in 1957.

Hurricane Camille, the most powerful storm to ever hit the U.S. shoreline, a Category 5 packing 180-mph winds, killed 256 people in Mississippi and Louisiana in 1969. Hurricane Donna killed 50 people along the eastern seaboard in 1960, and Hurricane Betsy left 75 people dead in Florida and Louisiana in 1965.

"We had only female-named storms for such a long time, and it was only recently that we brought male names into the program," said Bill O'Brien, emergency management director of Palm Beach County. "You'd have to think the cumulative total would be heavy on the female side."

However, all of the deadly female tempests combined pale in comparison to the death toll of 1998's Hurricane Mitch, which left about 10,000 dead, mainly in Honduras and Nicaragua.

Another male storm, Hurricane Gordon, left 1,122 dead in Haiti in 1995. That toll equals the six deadliest female storms combined.

Then there was Hurricane Andrew, which is the major reason male-named storms have been much more costly than female storms. Andrew virtually destroyed south Miami-Dade County in 1992, causing $30.4 billion in damages.

Another powerful storm, Hurricane Hugo, slammed Charleston, S.C., causing nearly $8.5 billion in damages in 1989.

In the past four decades, the most costly female-named storm was Hurricane Agnes, which caused $7.5 billion in damages when it hit Florida and the East Coast in 1972. Betsy left $7.4 billion in damages in 1965, and Camille followed with $6 billion in damages in 1969. The dollar figures have been adjusted to reflect 1996 dollars, hurricane officials say.

McAdie said a Mitch or an Andrew shows that all it takes is one particularly devastating event to weight the tables in favor of a male or female hurricane.

"It's a matter of chance in the way of naming storms," he said.

For that reason, he speculated that if he were able to tally all hurricanes through history, the death and damage tolls would be even, assuming they all had a male or female name.

For example, there were several deadly hurricanes in the early 1900s, prior to names. In 1900, a Category 4 storm hit Galveston, Texas, and may have killed as many as 12,000 people. In 1928, a hurricane roared over southeast Florida and killed 1,836 around Lake Okeechobee.

Emergency managers say it doesn't matter if a hurricane has a male or female name. They take all of them extremely seriously.

"We're an equal opportunity organization," said O'Brien.

The article left out one of the worst hurricanes ever, Katrina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina), the costliest natural disaster in US history, and one of the five deadliest hurricanes, causing $81 billion (in 2005 dollars) in damage and killing 1,836 people. There was also Rita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Rita), the fourth most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic and the most intense ever in the Gulf of Mexico, causing $11.3 billion in damages, and Wilma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Wilma), the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, causing $29.1 billion (in 2005 dollars) and killing 62 people. Those three, alone, are three of the most powerful hurricanes, ever.

Yep, you are correct. For some reason, the copyright date at the Chicago Tribune puts the article as of 2011, yet when I double checked the story at the Sun Sentinel archive just now, the article was actually published sometime in 2000. Sorry 'bout that. :ashamed:

Also, their "Weather Channel" then reports it's "state" of "emergency" being "declared" - such was occurring with George, time after time, after each "U.S. military" pulse-weather "hit" that appeared as "hurricane" force within his "presidency" (he and Obama "declare" such "state" of "emergency" with, then, a "Federal Emergency Management Agency" moving in, maybe, or is it "national emergency" - "tricky" with their "fear" promulgation).. another "scheme" thing?

One illustration was of two "U.S." war-ships shown with beam energy rising from each ship and meeting in center, in the air.. could this, also, involve such pulse-weather? "27 ships," then? "Summer Pulse, '04," too..

Also, their "Weather Channel" then reports it's "state" of "emergency" being "declared" - such was occurring with George, time after time, after each "U.S. military" pulse-weather "hit" that appeared as "hurricane" force within his "presidency" (he and Obama "declare" such "state" of "emergency" with, then, a "Federal Emergency Management Agency" moving in, maybe, or is it "national emergency" - "tricky" with their "fear" promulgation).. another "scheme" thing?

Responsible? Is such letting go of real, true responsibility?

Eirene is "peace" - "U.S." force is "terrorizing" the East Coast of America, willing to risk lives or kill, destroy land and property, homes and well-being. It is "weather-manipulation" from groups "using" satellites with beam technology heating cool atmosphere, "U.S." force murderers that build cloud-mass and then "artificially" generate what appears as "hurricane" force. It's not "hurricane" or "Mother Nature" - 'Meister, you write like a "tool" with your quoting data that is, in fact, "disinformation" - or - are you ignorant? Why "deceive" the people? Be true.

Such is PULSE-WEATHER, "pulse" energy beamed from technology "used" for "war" against people, the people of the United States of America, "war-technology" similar to bombs, guns, tanks, planes, chemicals, biological agents, each "used" by "U.S. military" to "WREAK HAVOC" - in 2008, their "Ike" (a "U.S. military" name and clue) was sent hitting Galveston, Houston, and surrounding areas, wave-vibration so rough it was like the sky was boiling water, huge tall pines and oaks swinging, massive sway, and before that was 2005 when New Orleans was hit, unnatural pulse-weather from "U.S." force "manipulating" and "terrorizing" anyone (and then Houston, "terrorized" with massive pulse-weather sent entering the Gulf of Mexico), and before that, Florida, in 2004, hit twice with pulse-weather "hurricanes" slamming, with two others near - four pulse-weather "hurricanes" that came after "U.S. military" display of force with it's war-ships, wishing media coverage, called "Summer Pulse '04." It's "military" terminology, it's "war" technology," and unnecessary.

Their "Federal Emergency Management Agency," then, is sent into "devastated" areas to look like "U.S." force is helping when, in fact, it has caused such "destruction" - "destructive" pattern repeated "over" and "over" and such that follows their previous "hit" in 2001 with "U.S." planes hitting the "World Trade Center" towers, a "planned" thing with "manual" pictures to prove it.

Has "U.S. military" thought of "sending 27 ships" while it goes on "scaring the living shit our of everyone?" That is it's purpose, to show it's force, "SHOCK" - "Controlled Conflict Operations" - bringing minds from realizing what is occurring with it's "war" and "theft" and "lying" and "killing" (and from realizing foremost reality of existing beings visiting this planet, beings that have been called "extraterrestrial" - beings having their own energy state ships travelling the waves of space and etheric vibration, dimension, time).

"Enjoy" the "party" - yeah? It's nothing like the reality, truth of what is occurring with our planet and around our planet. You haven't seen The Real Show, bro' - beings with ships above your house, with visitation, with your being welcome aboard, with understanding that many forms of being exist.

Rise above - "U.S." force "blames" others for what it is doing, "Mother Nature" or "female" people. "Katrina" did not "attack" the land of America, "U.S." force did - or does. Then we read TNHC, "..all are constructed the same." Correct. "Weather-manipulation" that is "construct" and "technology-based" operation, truth reveals itself, from minds, hearts, that overflow.

If your "president" goes with "declaring" a "state" of "emergency" and their "U.S." force's "Federal Emergency Management Agency" - "FEMA" - is, then, sent into our country of the United States of America, the land of We, The People, then he, Barack or George, or George Herbert, hasn't taken real, true responsibility and has given such, in fact, away, or, that is what we have experienced in 2000 - 2008. We have "rights" and "invasive" force from "U.S. military," of any kind, is "invasive" force - "U.S. military" has "manipulated" with it's PULSE-WEATHER year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year and year and land, lives, and property have been "devastated" (unnatural occurrence).

May we review such with picture - type Hurricane "Katrina" Eyewall, then locate one picture with beam energy in the midst of massive cloud formation.

Not really. One of the reasons so many people are without power is due to downed power lines. So yes, it is a generally smart idea to keep people inside and not wandering about tripping over them or frying their skulls out by stepping into a puddle concealing them. Sometimes you simply have to protect people from their own stupidity.

Underground electrical wire target of widespread thievery

By Jennifer Sorentrue, Sun Sentinel (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/pb-palm-stolen-copper-wire-20110828,0,3811443.story)

4:58 AM EDT, August 29, 2011


Thieves have cast 33 miles of Interstate 95 into darkness in Palm Beach County by yanking out the underground copper wire needed to power the overhead lighting.

The wire can be sold to metal recycling companies for as much as $3 a pound. State officials say it will cost $200,000 to replace the wiring and install anti-theft devices to prevent thieves from removing it again.

During the past four to six months, state transportation officials say, 18 sites in Palm Beach County have been hit by thieves, who removed 175,000 feet of wire.

"It has been an ongoing problem for a while," said Barbara Kelleher, a spokeswoman for the state's Department of Transportation. "It used to be aluminum being stolen. Now it is copper wiring."

The thefts along I-95 are so rampant that West Palm Beach police put out a media release last month urging drivers to call them or the Florida Highway Patrol if they see vehicles stopped near light poles.

The problem isn't confined to South Florida. Traffic officials across the country have reported similar thefts.

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, a Washington-based trade group, has set up a website where law enforcement officials across the United States and Canada can report thefts and have the information relayed to recycling sites within 100 miles of where the incident occurred.

In Florida, metal recyclers are required to take photos and thumbprints of their customers before buying metals. Local recyclers, who declined to speak on the record, said they work closely with police to help catch thieves.

Since June, the Florida Highway Patrol said it has received at least 15 complaints about wire theft along I-95 from Palm Beach to St. Lucie counties.

The economic downturn is to blame for the recent uptick in thefts, FHP spokesman Lt. Tim Frith said.

"Obviously, the economy has driven this," Frith said. "It does present itself as a kind of crime of convenience."

Palm Beach County engineer George Webb said the county had three sections of lights along Southern Boulevard and SR 7 hit by thieves 18 months ago. To help curb the problem, the county began installing anti-theft devices in light posts in vulnerable areas, Webb said.

"Nowadays when somebody sees a complete series of lights out, my first speculation would be that the cable has been stolen," Webb said.

The light posts are connected by large sections of underground copper wire. Boxes on the side of the posts or in the ground between each unit make the wire an easy target for thieves, officials say. The thefts occur during the daylight, when the lights are off and the wires are not live.

Frith said that posts along the interstate are more vulnerable because drivers travel at such high speeds that criminals go unnoticed, or passers-by don't make the connection.

"A passing motorist might think that person just broke down," Frith said. "Anyone that is out there working, there should be some type of warning to passing motorists that work is occurring."

Nobody's making light of the tragedy, just the sensationalism in the media while I'm trying to figure out what's actually happening. Here they would run a crawl during a TV show warning about a "puddle alert" and it was to shake people up so they'd watch the news, it wasn't about safety, wasn't even a big storm (this happened in the 90's). So when something big happens, it's almost like the boy who cried wolf. I'm not trying to watch 3 hours of fearmongering just to find out what I have to do to be safe.

The only part of the meteorologists' coverage that they overestimated was the strength as it passed Virginia....

We got "close" to hurricane strength winds, but by the time it hit Jersey, it was already down to a Tropical Storm...

Not that it stopped the storm from causing billions more in damages though...

This pretty much sums up the seasonal hurricane coverage offered in South Florida for roughly the past 30 years. This isn't journalism folks, it's blatantly irresponsible fear- mongering in a quest for tv ratings. Yet it is somewhat nice to see that the rest of the nation has finally caught onto a trend that has been shamelessly exploited here for decades now.

Seriously, what sort of valuable information is to be gained by having a reporter stand on a beach and gravely observe that it is currently raining, has been for hours and more than likely will continue to do so? Why not focus on the highways that are still open for people to evacuate, give addresses for shelters or phone numbers for services? Nah, that would merely bring up that pesky idea of responsible journalism. It's fairly difficult to provide a public service, such as keeping people informed when all you care about is getting people to watch tv by scaring the shit out of them.

NSpills' - had I not communicated what was beginning to occur with "U.S." force "hurricane" PULSE-WEATHER, it would have been "worse" - communicating true, speaking up, helps quell their "hate" and people are, with truth, aware of what is occurring. "U.S." force backs off, quietens, knowing We know truth.. their violence has subsided. Same thing occurred when their "weather-manipulation" was pushed toward Houston, in the Gulf of Mexico, 2005, after their "HIT" upon New Orleans - I wrote on a previous site, words, with communicating truth, heart, and their "manipulation" was halted, their huge "hurricane" they were "hyping" and promoting, getting lots of our more younger people in their cars, trucks, driving away or out of town, in "fear" from "U.S. news media" expression, "newspaper" and "television" - Houston was standing tall with calm, taking turns with street-lights, no "bull-shit").
