Exclamation Hurricane Irene check in

I am watching the weather channel as it creeps north. I see that BF may be getting a heavy dose right now, and not far from Jacquie. We are on the line of divide; East of Interstate 81 at least not a direct hit.

One channel said winds will be worse then rain, now saying rain worse the winds. I am at the edge of the Pocono's Northeast of Interstates I 81 and I 80. Up really high in elevation, so I do worry about the winds....Out trees around us are so tall and the evergreens hold so much weight on the limbs with a shallow root base. The weight of the rain, and then wind on them is my real fear.

Glad I am not in the city though were the roads and cellars will be flooded for sure. Tropical storm Agnus in 1992 had the city under water 2 stories high. This week they did not even shut the flood gates, I don't get that. I guess they feel the river level so far is not a threat. Where do you put 6,7,8 inches of rain, plus the streams?

I know one thing, I will be busy with insurance claims again this week.
