Hurricane Bill: Threat to NE?

[thetrailboss]

I heard on the radio this morning discussion of our first hurricane for the season, and apparently it may come along the east coast.

Thoughts? Any updates?

I am always a threat

I'm supposed to go on a cruise out of Portland, ME on Saturday. Yippee!

Jet Steam

Looks like the jet stream ain't gonna interfere with this baby!

I'll be on the NJ beach next week. Really had hoped to swim in some new medical waste I just love those rip tides!

I've lived in NJ for 5 years, and I've never made it to the Jersey Shore, yet in the same time period I've been to the Cape three times.

It's funny how people are incredulous when I tell them that, but at this rate I don't want to go just out of principal.

It'll be interesting to watch...

Early storms seem to be the ones that come up this way...

Bob & Gloria immediately come to mind.

There is nothing more cozy than sharing the beach with 20,000 of your closest friends, or looking out your cottage window and watching the card game in the cottage next to yours.

I was on Nantucket when Floyd hit. It is fun taking the SUV out after that on the dirt roads. I had water come over the hood in one puddle.

Oh yes, Floyd... I remember that one too... I was working an 8 hour shift in my friend's mother's dry cleaning shop, I think we had more power interruptions than customers that day...

Looks like we'll be heading for the coast on Sunday if it hits!

Maybe it's time to get that Stihl sooner than later....

Surf's up!

I don't think the US is in the "cone of danger" for this one.

I always think Get Smart when I hear that term.

Bob was in August, but Gloria was the end of September.

Ahh... I couldn't remember how active the hurricane season was that year... I remember that I had just gone back to school (or started school... pretty sure it was 1st grade).

Best bet then GSS is grab a last minute flight to Bermuda on Thursday.

Good waves and a weekend of rip currents up + down the East Coast

 

[Zand]

We're due.

Bring it on!

Marc hasn't weighed in on this one yet. He must be out buying more 2-cycle oil...
