Here is a link to hurricane central at weather.com.

You can see where the storm is at any time.

Irene is still a half day away from NY I think at this point, last I looked winds were at 80mph (which is still considerable) but it is slowly weakening. As far as I know they do not expect it to strengthen as it heads north.

Maybe smoking will pop back in again throughout the evening.

Hakan, if you want to watch the progress, you could use the zip code for Manhattan which is 10001.

Well it's just now midnight on the east coast and the sattelite images as well as hurricane central show Irene getting closer to the NY area.

I am quite sure by now NY has seen a fair bit of rain the last few hours....

I talked to my parents (in central PA) earlier in the evening and they have had rain on and off since dinner time.

Ironically here in central FL we had more rain and thunderstorms today then we have had in weeks...but those were just our normal storms....except that a few in the late afternoon were pretty sizable etc....

It must be so scary getting ready for a hurricane. I hope its not too severe and everyone in its path is okay when its over. Hopefully its not as powerful as Cyclone Yasi that hit Queensland recently, that was one powerful cyclone. My friend was so scared but luckily she wasn't in its direct path.

Long Island update. Irene came and went in the middle of the night. We still have power although many don't. Drove around the area with my daughter just a bit ago. I saw mostly heavy downed branches and some smaller trees. Lots of power outages I have noticed with the traffic lights being out in some parts. Just a few miles south of were I live there is heavy flooding. It was nothing like some of the storms I had seen when I lived in Central Florida. Problem is with Long Island is that no matter where you live, the ocean is not all that far away. I live about 15 mins from the ocean. So its flooding and the old trees that break or get rooted. Wind was not strong enough from what I have seen here to blow off roofs. Me and the kids had a hurricane party until 2 am when we finally all fell asleep. I was teasing my youngest daughter who is on the top floor to wake me if the roof flies off since she will be the first to know

I'm from Puerto Rico, so every year we have to prepare for storms and hurricane. One thing I can say that an hurricane is no joke if the wind don't do damage the rain will do. Irene passed on Puerto Rico but at that time its was only a storm, the wind wasn't strong but it rain like for 4 days and it caused a lot of damage. My only advice is to prepare with lot of water, candles or flash lights and food on cans

I was pretty lucky, lost power 4 times, but 3 were about 30 seconds and the last a couple minutes.
