Irene getting weaker
« on: August 27, 2011, 04:58:40 AM »
Wind down to 90 mph.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the enormous storm's top sustained winds slipped to 90 mph early Saturday from 100 mph overnight but warned Irene would remain a hurricane as it moves up the mid-Atlantic coast.

She should still do some damage at that speed.  Only thing we can do is wait it out, and be ready for whatever.  Be safe everyone!

Ive been watching and listening to reports.

 It seems "Irene" likes the catagory 1 status. She has been a 1 for a while now and theres no sigh of her  breaking up or getting any weaker then a one.

 sustained winds of 85 mph gusts to 100 are her normal.

When the winds reach that speed 10 mph wont make any differance at all.
Why does it Matter to you? cause I could careless.........

The worst is that we will be subject to those winds for about 8 hours.  She's a slow mover.
