Earthquake, Hurricane Irene, Whats next?

riding 20 foot waves? yeah i dont think so (no offense)

 

I was out on a boat in about 60 feet of water when it hit and didn't feel a damn thing.

I don't think anything is going out surfing in 50-70 knot onshore winds. Might get some waves before or after though...

As far as OCMD being evacuated that sounds awesome to me. There is no way that a 3-4 foot high sea-wall is holding back a full blown hurricane, if it comes to that. And the last thing oc needs is a bunch of tourists in town when emergency crews are trying to work.

 

Yeah... lots of sand moving.. but no surfing. MOST Nj surfers cant handle 20ft. Unless you frequent hawaii or such.... no matter what you guys say. 7ft. is big.... there calling for 15+! with 50 mph winds. Like said... there will be surfing before and after the storm.

 

is she going to make landfall in NJ at all? do you guys think its worth considering evacuation this early

 

To early to evacuate in my mind. But it's your choice. You'll definitely beat the traffic if it comes to that. But, I think as the week goes on the forecast will put Irene further and further offshore. As of now, I'll be focusing on the clean up on Sunday.

 

MSW is calling 23ft with 19ft @ 14 seconds with onshore winds of 36mph and gusts of 47mph . Its gonna be a mess even if they are right which we all know that they are never are

 

who is your aunt??? jumping the gun a bit but a cat 1 isn't going to evacuated any1

 

i'm not really liking the latest gfs projections...i'll be bugging out of oc,nj if that forecast holds up over the coming days. for me, irene has ceased to be a potential swell maker & has become a serious concern. evacuation is a real possibility; better safe than sorry & all that (plus i live on the 2nd floor).

the earthquake was "interesting". it was the 2nd one i've felt in my life...the first was in CA when i was about 10. "cool" is not a word i'd use to decribe it..."sickening" or "unnatural" maybe...IMO, the ground just isn't supposed to move that way.

 

anything is possible, but look at the odds...irene is not going to die out & the likelihood of her swinging wide is becoming smaller by the hour. an evacuation order for the southeast is a very real possibility at this point. municipal authorities will err on the side of caution, esp. where tourists are concerned.
& i'm going to say b/c i've been thinking it since i read your first post (& i've been drinking): you sound like a kook who has no clue what they're talking about.

 

i was in ocmd when it hit, i felt a quiver in my house and im 4 houses from the beach but my friends who were on the beach didnt feels a thing. the ground is really loose here from being close to shore so thats probably why we didnt feel it as much

 

i was actually on the beach when it hit. Once it hit people began bugging out, I watched one family run off the beach and leave all of their belongings. When i got home, a picture actually feel off my wall but it wasn't on the wall very well. I have family in philadelphia that said it shook like crazy there.

 

I was standing on the beach near Ocean City Md and didn't feel anything and neither did anyone else. When I heard there was an earquake I thought back to remember where I was and had the faintest memory of a big truck rumbling by as I was talking to a friend. The reason that memory was odd is that I was nowhere near a road. Was that it, I don't know but I'm pissed now because I missed a quake back in New Jersey like 1979 when I was in Junior high. Everyone said they felt it except me, I felt so left out.

 

I was sittin on the beach watching the ECSC at VA beach and i didn't feel a thing, but i walked down to 711 to get a drink and some kids asked if i felt it, so i called my dad who was in chesapeake at my house and he said the whole house was shaking pretty hard but the only thing we could find that fell over was a deoderant stick in my room

 

yes, this has been hyped up so much. We all survived the rapture.

You are not surfing 20 foot waves, especially not in Jersey. A 20 foot wave in jersey would require a true hell man. I have surfed 10-12 foot waves on the east coast that were just too damn stressful, I dont think I even have an urge to go any bigger, not without a jet ski. No channels, unpredictable winds, brown ass water...

 

hahahahaha

 

at atlantic city when the tiny earthquake hit. it was hilarious, of course all the people eavesdropping overheard me and my friends joking about a "tsunami" and freaked out, running to their cars or staring at the horizon for an hour straight. tsunami? its jersey. and the mini quake here was nothing compared to california...on a daily basis

 

you should study geology more...tsunamis are a very real possibility here.
