    NYC puts out an evacuation map. My old neighborhood of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, is in color. So are LaGuardia and Kennedy airports. I hope no one is going anywhere this weekend.

    Probably taken off the Island by Friday, I would imagine. Looks like the patio furniture will have to come in early.

    Well yeah, but I'm guessing the Secret Service would like to have him high and dry by the time the storm arrives.

    From the Facebook feed of the world's greatest TV weatherperson, Tom Skilling:

    Have just learned every Nat'l Wx Service upper air observation station east of the Rockies has been ordered to launch weather balloon every 6 hrs (instead of every 12 hrs) to feed into computer models which must forecast Irene's future movement. This is a rare step and a testament to the severity of the East Coast situation. Latest computer rainfall fcsts off the NWS GFS model: Cape Hatteras: 9.62"; Philly: 7.06"; NYC 8.26"; Atl City 7.56".

    It seems I'm picking a good weekend to leave Virginia and head to Columbus.

    This looks like some serious shit. It's not often my house gets in a tropical storm watch. Should be a fun weekend!

    President Obama will likely somehow wind up being blamed for the storm.

    This may be one of the few times in a while that a good portion of my state was upset that Irene was going to head to the east coast and not Texas.

    A word to the wise: the flooding from the rain usually kills more people than the wind or storm surge. So don't automatically blow it off if it seems like "nothing happened" when the eyewall hits shore.

    I hope Sean Penn comes by to rescue me in his row boat.
