Hurricane Irene has made landfall on Queens as a Category 1. This is the first time that a hurricane made landfall on NYC since the late 1880's.
I wonder how they are detecting landfall with no eye left. I was just watching the weather channel and they noted there was no eye left and the couldn't actually detect where landfall technically would be, then they said oh well it doesn't matter.
The south side of this nor easter has completely dried up. This will greatly reduce the amount of rain, so that's good. If they drop the wind speed 2 mph, it will only technically be a TS.
Yep, I was right!

Reason: Now a TS
On the times square webcam, people are stop walking around. It doesn't seem that dangerous to be honest., they're not even struggling to stand up or walk, nor are their umbrellas.
LOL...Yep. That's what I've been saying. Massive hype for ratings.
It's been fun watching the experts squirm trying to explain away the lack of intensity and damage relative to what they hyped.

There is a center of circulation in the storm.

You are one very strange and ignorant person. You act as though the experts are able to forecast with absolute certainty something that mother nature creates. I guess you also believe the experts should be able to forecast exact locations and intensity of earthquakes too. How about tornadoes? Maybe lightning strikes?
England has regularly had far worse than what Irene brings to NYC. October 1987 storm, January 1990 storms, January 2007, serious storms killing many people and causing massive destruction and strong enough to be classified as hurricanes. The Jan 2007 storm took half the roof off one of my university buildings, among other things. As for rain well Englands also had worse rain than Irene brings to NYC, like the 4" in a couple of hours in July 2007 in southern England.
Lower Manhattan is CURRENTLY flooding from overflow of the Hudson and East Rivers, into Battery Park, West Village and meat pkg areas...
We care about PEOPLE , not who has the worst weather.....
