Less than two days after Hurricane Irene flooded many parts of the Eastern U.S. we are now watching a new tropical storm that has developed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Last night the Phillies played a tight 3-2 win over the Reds, and overshadowing the Victorino HR and the Madson save was the performance of Cole Hamels.
Hurricane IRENE continues to pound the region with flooding rains, damaging winds and numerous Tornado Warnings.
Hurricane Irene is a Category 2 storm with winds averaging 110 mph. This is a very large storm, with tropical storm force winds extending almost 300 miles from the storm's center.
I have to admit, when I agreed to do this blog, I never thought I'd be writing about weather as much as I have in the last week. Hurricane Irene is descending on the Delaware Valley and the Phillies are hosting the Florida Marlins at Citizens Bank Park.
By Bill Campbell: The NFL has a serious consideration: How will the moving of the kickoff spot from the 30 to the 35-yard line affect the game, if at all?
The topic about Cole Hamels is not about the disabled list. In this instance, the Philies are buying themselves a couple of days to figure out if he can really go, and get Pete Orr on the bench in the process.
I am one person who can't stand rain delays. What took place over the weekend was frustrating, but there were some mistakes made that could have been avoided even if the rain couldn't have been.
At this point, my feeling is that our entire area needs to prepare for heavy rainfall and the threat for tropical storm-force winds, even perhaps hurricane-force gusts, especially down the shore.
The peak of hurricane season is still a few weeks away but we are watching Irene closely as she spins near the island of Hispaniola.

The Phillies haven't played in a little under 3 days. As they get set to battle the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks, the teams they battle an average of 19 times a year have had some of the most bizarre controversies in baseball.
I've been trying to write this since yesterday afternoon. It's been more difficult than I figured it would be. Not in a sad way. Not in a "I can't bring myself to do it way." I just wasn't sure what I would be able to add that everyone else hasn't already.
