9/4/2008 Update:

Spoke with some people at the Italian Festival this morning as they were setting up.

In case of inclement weather, the RAIN DATE for both the fireworks AND the statue precession will be SUNDAY.

Also, take a look at the current hourly rain prediction - might be 30 straight hours of stormy weather! Any shoe stores in Hoboken having a boot sale?

9/4/2008:

Weather forecasters are predicting that what’s currently Tropical Storm Hanna will eventually trek up the eastern coast and affect our weekend plans.

Heavy rains and strong winds might throw a kink into the Italian Festival, especially the fireworks.

Hanna’s Impact

Hanna will take aim on the Interstate 95 corridor this weekend after slamming into the Carolina coastline Friday night as a Category 1 or 2 hurricane. Hanna will weaken once it moves inland and begins to get absorbed in the fast-moving flow of the jet stream. Tropical storm-force winds still threaten to cause damage as Hanna passes over the highly populated corridor of the Northeast Saturday into Sunday morning.

Soaking rain will also accompany Hanna through the Northeast. The arrival of the rain, however, will precede Hanna’s center and strong winds by 18 to 24 hours. The storm’s rain will be drawn northward, reaching the Delmarva Peninsula Friday afternoon and southern New England Saturday morning. Flash flooding could ensue from Hanna’s drenching rain, especially in poor drainage and low-lying areas.

hobojerk, i don’t drive a bmw. is that some kind of “class warfare” comment? and you have lived in hoboken for 25+ yrs…so? does that somehow give you more authority to claim that this never ending schedule of pathetic “festivals” are good for the residents of hoboken? tell you what you poverty stricken, street meat eating, loudmouth; the festivals suck and they DO NOT enhance the community. read my post again, there are TOO MANY. self imposed traffic jams are stupid. the residents who have continued to vote in the people who have bankrupted this town are stupid. you have lived here for 25yrs? that’s lovely. and in all that time you haven’t figured out how to help improve this place? ot do you endorse the pilots and corrupt tax collectors and mayors and parking meter theft and the HPD swat team fraud? how’s your view now you jackass?

So now we resort to name calling. Sorry you cant afford a BMW. As far as class is concerned, I guess u just showed us (with your name calling) that u have none. You have proven to me that under a rock is where u belong. Just because I’ve been voting in this city for a long time I’m poverty stricken? Maybe If you shout your loud mouth and tried to taste the meat on the street around here, you would see that u are just a grumpy bastard that shouldn’t be around other people. Please for the sake of my fellow citizens, CRAWL BACK UNDER YOUR ROCK. See u at Octoberfest !!!
