Warning are now out. Forecasters here are being cautious but folks seem to be heeding the warning. Watching a steady stream of big azz boats heading down the road. Not a D battery on all of Cape Cod since Wednesday - they were on sale this week. Very quiet, eerie like. Not a bird or critter in sight. If worried about loss of electricity, lower the temp on your fridge and freezer. And push fridge stuff to the rear. Will buy a day or so on food stuffs. Put stuff you might need frequently on ice in a cooler to avoid having to open the fridge door. They are saying it will be a 12 hour daylight thing for us on Sunday. Prefer this. Can see what is going boom as opposed to wondering about it. Tomorrow am will be final preps, flipping furniture, tying stuff up, making sure everything with batteries is fully charged etc. Still feels like it will be ok tho aggravating. |

Wow, msnbc just said NYC is going to shut down mass transit, so folks should get out now if they are going to get. I am not sure though when they are going to shut down the mass transit, nor if they will shut it all down. Stay safe all. |

Mass transit is shutting down at noon on Saturday.
The weather channel's facebook page has a plethora of helpful hints. Fill plastic bags half full of water and put them in the freezer; they will be big chunks of ice and will help to cool things even down in the refrigerator for a couple of days with minimal opening of the door.

Philly's mass transit is shutting down at midnight Saturday night until noon-ish Sunday. We're expecting a lot of rain and some flooding. Amtrack is shutting down at 5PM. New Jersey transit is suspending service at noon on Saturday.
I'm a former western new yorker and have dealt with ice storms and week long blizzards so I"m thinking the standard preparations should be fine. I've already got all the camping gear in the livingroom just in case.  We'll probably get an awful lot of rain saturday and sunday, but as long as we stay out of low lying areas we should be fine. All of my friends are out partying tonight and will be doing the same all weekend long. Their first emergency supplies stop was the liquor store. I've already gassed up the car in case I get the call that somebody went and got themselves stuck somewhere without public transportation.

My daughter is in Marshfield MA, does anyone know if she can get out of Boston to go north tomorrow evening? Is Boston closing down the T? She could stay there wtih a friend if not. Damn I am so worried.

I think I'm prepared. Yesterday I picked up some batteries for the flashlight and some peanut butter and bread incase I can't cook...although, there is still the grill outside. I pulled the trash cans in the yard and secured everything on the patio. Irene should start coming through soon and we're expecting the brunt overnight when I'll be at work. It's cloudy here in Baltimore at the moment but very calm...almost too calm. :/

Hi Jazz,
Bostonian here. Currently our MBTA (train transportation) is running on normal schedules as well as Commuter Rail. So she should be fine with heading North. We will be getting a lot of rain today, but the worst of this will be in the daylight hours tomorrow (Sunday). It's easier said than done when I say "try" not to worry. Our state is taking all the precautions necessary You can also go here to check on things: http://www.thebostonchannel.com Hang in there  Best, Scorp Quote:

Coastal areas of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island are being ordered to evacuate. I have lived in NYC for 54 years and have never seen the likes of this preparation. They didn't shut down MTA after 9/11, even though it destroyed a subway station. But they're shutting it down for Irene. I gotta wonder how much of this is mother nature and how much is politics?
Anyway, they sure have my attention. Irene is a Cat3 (Katrina was Cat5), but she's HUGE and moving slowly. We may all be hunkering down for several days. I made a big pot of pasta, have a flashlight, a transistor radio, extra batteries, and a tub full of water. I'm worried about my son vacationing with family in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. I'm worried about a friend who lives on a boat. I'm worried about folks in this city that are homeless, I'm worried about my elderly parents, (though they aren't in a flood zone). I'll be happy when this is over. Heart |

As of right now Irene is being classified as a Category 2 Hurricane, and is projected to lose strength rapidly over the next couple of days. Hope you all and your loved ones stay safe.

If you have cat litter in the plastic containers, and they are empty, fill them with water, can be used to flush the john.
