Delta! 987 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 All of a sudden SA(or at least Pretoria) has become warm, just a nice temperature, you can go short sleeve with out being cold, or a long sleeve without sweating, the nights are bearable, already removed a blanket from my bed. but the August winds are here as well, so we will probably be blown away....

Zodiac-Mindwarp 24 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It should hit about 90 today, with a few clouds and fairly light humidity. Not a bad day. Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Does an earthquake count as weather? I am in DC on vacation. I was in Air &Space museum when it hit. They evacuated all the museums and I got to walk back to my hotel because the Metro was closed. Link to comment

I'll trade ya your earthquake for my potential hurricane Still early and track might change but right now it's making a bee line right at me Tornado warnings today for us here in mid-Ontario... very, very rare to say the least. Actually... 4 days ago (Sunday), there was the most powerful storm in Ontario's history... Goderich got hit with an F3 tornado, right down the main street of town. One person lost their life... very unlucky for that person and their family, but at the same time very lucky when you consider it's a tourist town, in the middle of tourist season... and only one person killed. A little rain so far today but nothing too serious has hit my immediate area. lc;akhv Darn, it's hard to type with your fingers crossed Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 So many people have rough times with the weather, and even my mom called me last night to report that Chevy Chase had a kind of earthquake around 5.8? gogo p.s. lol, Theuns, ah, that great blanket..it's getting some use this year, thank you!

Knuckles 904 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well it looks like Irene is gonna stop by and say hi. Not too too worried about the wind but if the storm surge is high it'll seriously damage my house Price you pay leaving near a beach I guess Sending my daughter up to stay with her aunt (further inland) tomorrow or Friday just in case.

chattius 2,526 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We were lucky yesterday: Two villages to the south: hail corns as big as golf balls 4 villages to the south: villages not reachable for hours because of fallen trees blocking the streats All caused by Fallböen = Downbursts. Before the downbursts we were at 34 Celcius and 59% humidity. Was a feeling like living in a sauna the last 3 days. Link to comment

We live almost in a straight line north of you Nuckles, up here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. So we can commiserate with each other. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Just got off the phone with my mom, she's saying Irene is set to hit her area on Saturday, she's packed some food just in case she has to head down to a shelter not far from her. gogo Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Did not beat the hurricane. All flights were canceled, so I get to weather the storm in Alexandria, VA. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) On the local Friday news here in Quebec, Irene was the most popular subject. They talked about all these evacuations, and the consequences it makes. They also talked about it because on Monday/Tuesday, the rest of Irene might hit Quebec with severe winds/rain. EDIT 7:50PM : The news reported 6 deaths in North Carolina and Virginia. The hurricane was downgraded to category 1. They now forecast at least 50mm of rain tomorrow for Quebec with lots of wind. Hope Knuckles, his family, and every other member living in those regions will be ok. EDIT 2 (Aug 28, 8:00PM) : Irene finally hit Quebec. There has been some damage, at least 100,000 houses have no electricity, and the government is prepared for some eventual floods in the east of Quebec. Most important, there hasn't been any death here so far. Max Edited August 29, 2011 by Flooxim Link to comment
Lord of the North 10 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I took this video earlier today during a lull in Hurricane Irene. What you see in this video is the upper third to quarter of the pylon that was the center support of a covered bridge that burned down in the late 70's. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=2192405383729 I will take another video after the water goes down so you can see what is normal, this river's flood stage is 9 feet at the moment it is about 12.3 feet.
