Yes it can
Tell her not to watch the news.
I understand her reasoning. What if you have to flush during the deluge? With water in the tub, you can stay indoors. It is hot here today so I am watching the weather channel. They were pointing out how the rotation of the storm will push water ahead. I would think if it rotated the other way it would push water also.

Indeed everyone is starting to worry! We had both bucket trucks in full tilt all week. There calling up already worrying about there leaners and dying trees. I'm on call Sunday and although its not supposed to be as bad as it could be, $hit is gonna fly! There will be money to be made and if there's two things I love, its ripping saws and money!

Come on!!
We're used to storms up here!! As long as I'm not out in Georges Bank, where I have been in 50 ft. confused seas, I'm alright. Nhmurph just shipped me a 79cc Makita so I can't wait!!! Sharpened 3 other saws and got some b/c oil and gas. Generator is all ready. So let it happen. Weather guy said barometer in center is rising though so looks like we won't have real strong hurricane winds. We'll see...
I'm down in your neck of the woods. Yes, anything over 50ish will give some damage. With the leaves on the trees, it's even worse. I'd be prepared for a few days without power.

Been working 16hr days since Weds.
Just spent 16hrs, cleaning up were a tornado skipped around (touched down several times) in a small area.
Snapped, twisted and just mangle trees like I have never seen. Most of the wood is not even good enough for cord wood. Tornado's are RARE around here, and to see it first hand in my back yard is weird. The storm must have pushed the weather upwards enough to get with the front that came in and it brought some crazy isolated weather that will keep us busy putting up wire and poles for at least a week. Sad part we won't really see any direct weather from the big storm. Probably get our area cleaned up and be asked to go east.

Storm passed by Charleston SC well out in the Atlantic. No problems here. Guess the Stihls will stay on the shelf again this weekend.
Thanks for the update .

national weather service doppler indicates that the eye of irene
made landfall near cape lookout north carolina around 730 am
edt...1130 utc. The estimated intensity of irene at landfall was
85 mph...140 km/h...category one on the saffir-simpson hurricane
wind scale.
At 800 am edt...1200 utc...the center of hurricane irene was located
near latitude 34.7 north...longitude 76.5 west. Irene is moving
toward the north-northeast near 14 mph...22 km/h...and this general
motion is expected to continue for the next 24 hours. On the
forecast track...the center of irene will move across eastern north
carolina today. The hurricane is forecast to move near or over the
mid-atlantic coast tonight and move over southern new england on
sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph...140 km/h...with higher
gusts. Irene is a category one hurricane on the saffir-simpson
hurricane wind scale. Slight weakening is forecast as irene crosses
eastern north carolina...but irene is forecast to remain a
hurricane as it moves near or over the mid-atlantic states and new
england.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles...150 km...from
the center...and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to
260 miles...415 km. A sustained wind of 59 mph with a gust to 84
mph was recently measured at cape hatteras north carolina.
The latest minimum central pressure estimated from data from an air
force reserve hurricane hunter aircraft is 952 mb...28.11 inches.
A coastal marine observing site at cape lookout north carolina
recently reported a pressure of 954.0 mb...28.17 inches.
Hazards affecting land
----------------------
wind...tropical-storm-force winds should spread northward along the
mid-atlantic coast later this morning with hurricane conditions
expected by this afternoon. Hurricane-force winds should spread
northward through the hurricane warning area during the day.
Tropical storm conditions are expected to reach southern new
england tonight with hurricane conditions expected on sunday.
Storm surge...an extremely dangerous storm tide will raise water
levels by as much as 5 to 9 feet above ground level in the
hurricane warning area in north carolina...including the albemarle
and pamlico sounds. Storm surge will raise water levels by as much
as 4 to 8 feet above ground level within the hurricane warning area
from the north carolina/virginia border northward to cape cod

tributaries. Near the coast...the surge will be accompanied by
large...destructive...and life-threatening waves. Storm surge

Rainfall...irene is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of
6 to 10 inches...with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches...from
eastern north carolina northward through the mid-atlantic states
into eastern new york and western new england. These rains
could cause widespread flooding and life-threatening flash floods.
Surf...large swells generated by irene are affecting portions of the
coast of the southeastern united states. These swells will cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

Are you using those for cutting storm damaged trees? :msp_biggrin:

Stihl crazy after all these years
The damage starts about 50 miles east of Raleigh NC from what I've heard
For some reason, I-95 in NC is the designated dividing line for a lot of storms in NC. Sure enough, east of there today there's some damage, and of course the coast got it, but not too badly. We're getting wind and drizzle in Raleigh, but not as severe as the forecast. I think Irene started NE again and is pulling away from here.
You guys north of here hang on and you'll be OK. It's weakening.

Having left Virginia last month I missed the earthquake on Tuesday and the hurricane today. My mother in law has been without power since 11:00 this morning, they now say 1,000,000 without electricity. A member on this site just e-mailed that trees were coming down in Richmond and there were severe wind gusts.
