11 PM EDT 28 August 2011 Update The last advisory on Irene was just issued. Irene is very likely to be retired as a name. 10 PM EDT 28 August 2011 Update The invest 92L has a 100% chance to develop and advisory should be issued on it shortly later tonight or tomorrow. Odds still favor a recurve, but are dropping. There will be a long time to watch this one, hot towers are firing around the center and something may form at any time. The general center of 92L seems to be forming just south of 10 N. Power outages across the Irene landfall area continue, with the worst inland flooding reports coming from Vermont, Western Massachusetts, Northwest New Hampshire, and upstate New York. Events in Vermont may make this the worst storm in Vermont's history as multiple reports of historic buildings and bridges of being destroyed by floodwaters. Original Update Irene has made landfall near Little Egg Inlet, officially as a 75mph hurricane. Irene continues to weaken as it heads generally north northeast the wind and rain should continue over New England today. Meanwhile southwest of Bermuda, Jose has formed from 91L, it is expected to stay west of Bermuda and not make landfall, because of the proximity Tropical Storm Warnings are up for Bermuda. ' Elsewhere, a large wave exiting from Africa (92L) has a 40% chance to develop in the next few days. Odds favor this recurving also, but it is not as certain as the last wave.

I'm on the UWS of Manhattan. Nobody in Manhattan lost power or internet it seems. Lots of rain, but barely any wind...just occasional gusts, no more than a typical rainstorm in the late summer here. Not sure where the local news is getting the 65mph sustained winds data from! I'm surprised that the storm was drastically downgraded hours ago. Glad to have been prepared though. |

Is there any link that shows exactly where her eye is current time? I ask because here it is 110% calm... like nothing is happening |

No real time link - just satellite data. The center should be nearing the Pittsfield area in far western Massachusetts (around Noon) and thats quite a distance from Manchester. At Noon, Manchester was gusting to 35mph and Boston was gusting to 59mph. ED |

Sorry my post was in the wrong place http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=92008&an=0&page=0#92008 but yes... all data indicates a TS is what NYC and many other areas experienced with Irene moving thru. |

http://www.wmur.com/video/29007165/detail.html This is Hampton Beach. That has to be about a 10-12 foot surge. Where those waves are currently, would be beautiful sand.... Currently RADAR shows her entering Mass on the West Side. Were waiting here for the effects of her... though we have been feeling her all day... |

Inland Flooding wise, looks like Vermont's got the worst of it, but still seems pretty bad. The dams in New England really can't cope with the amount of water that's been up there lately, and Irene's probably going to stress a few (or cause emergency releases). Places I've heard about: Wilmington, Vermont for example. Dams in danger I know of: Arlington Dam in VT, Gilboa Dam, near Albany NY. (Quite a few others unnamed also) Lots of rivers overflowing there banks. Irene's going to be retired, but it looks like the flooding (mostly away from the major cities) is going to be the largest cause of damage. Some of that may get down to the Cities later, so the flooding may come later than anticipated.

Still watching Vermont... Reports saying. The Vermont emergency command center is being evacuated due to flooding (Which is a new building that has only recently been opened) Dams over topping, nothing breached, although emergency releases are occuring. Plenty of reports and videos: http://rutlandherald.typepad.com/vermonttoday/ |

No doubt we will likely have new tropical storm in morning on 92l. It looks very impressive with deep convection near center and nice banding well under way. Way to early to say if this will fish or not, its rather far south in latitude to start. Looking at model data I was confident on eventual turn but that might be decreasing. So likely another to watch soon to be Katia... |
