I'm Concerned
Here are a few highlights of what might be happening to all us of on the East Coast over the next 96 hours.
I am most concerned about the storm surge danger to North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and the rest of the New England coast. Irene is capable of inundating portions of the coast under 10 - 15 feet of water, to the highest storm surge depths ever recorded. I strongly recommend that all residents of the mid-Atlantic and New England coast familiarize themselves with their storm surge risk.
comment by opitGood 'heads up.' My first thought seems odd - if infrastructure is damaged, drinking water supply may be cut off. I'd grab some containers and fill them.
For those with infrastructure comments - Levees.org started watching U.S. neglect post Katrina.
If you want a look at scary - the U.K. just cut off the budget for flood control, setting the stage for a confrontation with insurers no longer willing to cover housing in flood prone areas.
I keep a file 'Water -Wealth and Power' at opitslinkfest.blogspot.com ( see Topical Index ) that was inspired by a look at the header 'Hydraulic Warfare' in Wikipedia. The original concept was the post 'End of an Era.'
I've been through a good blow. Not fun at the best of times.
