Watching Irene - A Buoy's perspective

If you’re one of the 20 odd million in Metro NY and you’re wondering when and what this means, and you can’t get enough info, I give you some buoy data to watch after.

Buoy # 44065 is NY Harbor, # 44025 is South of Islip, Long Island.

The link(s) look like this:

When you scroll down you get this info:

I’m not sure what the “bend” points are on the coming storm. It depends on the tides. There is nothing good to report on that either.

If wave heights get to the levels measured off the coast of N. Carolina today are achieved around NYC, well, watch out.

Bank Holiday - Monday

Already got one scheduled in Great Britain! Spookay... OK, not that spooky. Hope Irene fizzles out, for everyone's sake. (Although if she could whip Wall Street away somewhere Dorothy-to-Oz style and leave everyone else high & dry, even better.)
