NOAA’s Phony “Hurricane” Coming On Shore With 33 MPH Winds


NOAA claims the winds are 85 MPH, but none of the Weather Underground stations in the area report higher than 33 MPH winds. By definition, this is not a hurricane – and is just barely a tropical storm.

All media hype as usual..
y
They over do everything to make it a story..that's how they make their money

[jjgold]

I think a heavy rainstorm with some wind will hit NJ

[Doug]

It sure won't be a hurricane by the time it reaches New England.

reporter on Beach in NC right next to water

[Djstucky]

What an overrated media hyped joke...this is no fukkn hurricane...

[FindTheLock]

Since you northerners don't know what a real hurricane is let me show you some footage.
this is what a reporter looks like who is reporting the weather standing in a hurricane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8ni7ULcj94

Go watch the news right now with these reporters standing on the coast line with a light sprinkle coming down on them and the flowers barely blowing in the breeze. When a F'in roof comes off of something come talk to me.

What a joke. NYC weathermen all finishing to completion while giving weather forecasts for the last day or two. JJ i hope your fukkin house gets leveled and your van flies away in the storm.

[shawn555]

Plenty of places have had wind gusts well over hurricane force near center of storm.

It just looks like showers right now. What the hell?

[Bluehorseshoe]

First a Sissy earthquake followed up by a Sissy hurricane.

Man reporters and weathermen going to get hammered if this is a bust

Officials costing business millions and millions by forcing them to close

The news is show groups of people hanging out on the beach, in the sand!!!

It doesn't look like anything other than great surfing weather. Unreal.

[babyjesus]

lol my mom is in jersey right now hunkered down with generators. what a freak.

[dom75]

Good grief... you all pissing and moaning oh the weathermen are throwing this out of proportion.. blah blah blah. But let's say the weathermen and media kept their mouths shut, and it hit as a 2 ... 3.. 4... or 5... and all kinds of destruction and dead. You'd all be complainin no one warned us, no one told us it was going to be this bad, no one prepared us.... boo whoo whooo.... shesh folks damned if ya do, damned if ya don't !

East Coast softness as always....scared of a little wind (saw new cameras stay locked on a roof that had 3 loose shingles flapping for 20 minutes for dramatic effect) and this weeks little tremor sent everyone in panic mode (Californians I'm sure t a good laugh - there are over 1300 yearly quakes in the U.S of the same magnitude but get no coverage but the entire eastern populous shut down nearly over this one).

Who shut down?

Also all forecasts for Irene showed it would have a pressure of around 950, that is a category three style pressure reading. The reason it is not a cat three is because of the massive wind fields involved with it. It is so large that the power has been spread out not confined to around the center. They have now found pressure readings of 947 which has to be the lowest reading ever found on a storm not a cat three. The storm is so large and spread out that as it makes landfall its contracting inward and actually gaining strength.

You all can bitch and complain in this thread but I don't think NWS did wrong in this one, the computer models were right in showing a storm with cat three pressures, no one had an idea it would be just a huge spread out cat one. Hurricane Ike was very similar in the gulf and did incredible damage.

come on over to Miami when a category 5 is slamming the coast, ripping roofs off, and blowing semis 40 yards down the pavement upside down, and see what a real storm looks like... Southerners on the East coast know what a real storm is. The Northerners are out of their element when it isn't snowing.

Californians acting rugged is laughable.

I've lived in Pensacola and Jax areas......know what ya mean. This was overblown big time..slow news week I guess.

Shawn - most of D.C......areas around downtown NYC....etc. All closed and had people out in the streets and traffic was a bitch more than most days from some angry texts got about the mass panic by people.

[ZetaPsi808]

fukkin hurricane was a bust, i want to see 85 mph winds, god dammit

So you're basically saying that Cougar you hooked up with a couple weeks back blows harder than Irene

[Djstucky]

We have higher wind speeds on a normal day in KS...I understand the weather reports aren't always going to be accurate but they were way in left field on this...

This was Hurricane Erin. She hit Oklahoma City back in 2007. I guarantee that Hurricane Erin was stronger than Irene turns out to be yet nobody ever heard of Erin. Irene has garnered the national media coverage for the last week and as JJ said will turn out to be nothing more than a little rain storm. It is going to be embarrassing when Irene turns out to be a weak tropical storm as predicted.

I can see NYC closing up some, they are in a perfect spot to get an all time storm surge. The way it is set up there with the track of the storm a great amount of water could be funneled into the city. That being said they should be under a tropical storm warning not a hurricane.

DC is a mistake. There is an overreaction from them and from putting Philly under a warning as well. However Isabelle kinda suprised people up there and there was a slight chance that Irene would track up the bay which would cause serious damage to dc baltimore annapolis are.

Looking at pressure readings this will turn out being one of the strongest storms to ever hit in the mid atlantic and northeast.

[jjgold]

Well it is suppose to start late tonight so then we can judge it

Erin was a tropical depression. It was a depression until it strengthened over Oklahoma which was remarkable before quickly dying back out. In fact it was not even considered a tropical depression when it hit oklahoma it was just considered a Low pressure.

However Erin was never a major hurricane, came ashore as a depression and was not heading in the direction of one of the most densely populated areas in the country.

Interesting information. Are you a weatherman?

Nope but living on the coastline for a long time forces you to learn alot about these kinds of things.

[ttwarrior1]

maybe they plan on having a major earthquake or something bombed

I understand the reasoning for shutting down the subways....below ground runoff and outdated structures/engineering....but evacuations for the masses other than islands.....uncalled for.
