And water will be this gals biggest weapon. Lots of water in a short period of time. And its moving slowly which will make matters worse.

The East Coast is already drenched. Hopefully it won't come ashore when tides are high.

They probably will get flooded. Tomorrow afternoon all mass transit is shutting down and the trains are going to be moved to safer ground.

I don't think Irene will be a hurricane when it reaches New York City. It seems to have weakened a lot. What does anyone else think?

Honestly, I'll be surprised if it can retain it's category 1 strength by the time it skirts the Jersey shore. It just seems that there'll be too much interaction with land and continental air is getting wrapped up in the storm.

Yeah, we'll definitely add this to the menu! How could I forget NJ pizza & bagels! I'm not familiar with Taylor Ham? I'm thinking Smithfield Ham. That can be the VA stop... Ham biscuits, anyone?
