Well, it sounds like it's gonna be bad when it first hits the coast
I pray for everyone that's gonna be in the Hurricane.

Why is it bad, I've met a lot of women named Irene, in more than one country.

My cousin and aunt are stuck in this right now, wtf made them want to go on a spontaneous holiday to Jamaica 2 days ago? My cousin is like a cross between Pinkie Pie out of MLP:FiM and Caboose out of Red vs Blue, so I have no idea how she'll cope with this... Hope they don't die or get injured or anything like that. :'(

Edit: Just got news that they're fine now.

My folks live in North Carolina about 3 hrs inland so I'm following this one closely. I'm hoping it'll turn and just skim the coast. Best Wishes and prayers to everyone who is in this or has family in the area. Right now it's a Cat. 3 with 115 mph winds2011-08-25 13:22:00

It's a perfect name for a women, a hurricane not so much.

Alright so it passed by us last night, and there was extreme thunderstorms, and a tornado like 15 miles away so we all chilled in the basement most of the night.

Also why don't they ever name any of the hurricanes after dudes? Not that i care, just curious....

Because earthquakes are more fun.

I'll get hit. I'm not worried about losing power... 20kW generator. I'm worried about losing cable which means NO INTERWEBS!

If I were you guys, I'd head westward inland, just to be safe.

I can't imagine what'll happen to the more densely populated areas (especially the NYC & DC areas). Best to pray that this won't be too severe.

By the time it reaches New York/New England it will fizzle out. This always happens... they say we're going to get a huge storm and the most we might get is some hail.2011-08-26 05:54:00

O_O Parts of NYC were evacuated.2011-08-27 04:32:00

Typically any low lying area in the path of anything with a possibility of 10+ hours of rain will be evacuated. NYC is especially prone to the subways flooding and it wouldn't be uncommon.

Once it hits NC it will become a Category 1 and by the time it reached Connecticut is should be a tropical storm.

"If you think naming a hurricane after a women is sexist, you obviously haven't seen the gals grabbing for items at a clearence sale!" :arg: Anyway, I only hope they'll all get by.2011-08-27 11:05:00

At about noon today the entire subway system in NYC will be closed down and all its equipment will be stored in secure locations.

Everyone near water is supposed to evacuate. I don't live near the water so I think I'll be fine.

I was born in Florida, and moved to Maine to get AWAY from the hurricanes......and now we're gonna get hit by this one. XD

Best of wishes to everyone in this right now, though.

Yeah, North Carolina will be hit, but I'm sure you know that by now. There were over 6,500 flight cancellations last night especially in NYC. Irene will affect many other area beside the east coast. There are many tornado warnings in the mid/north west.2011-08-27 16:07:00

They did. It isn't a terrible storm at all. It's a lot of rain and wind, and the people ignorant enough to be outside.2011-08-27 23:07:00

You may not have hit a band. Or maybe if you were lucky you drove through the eye.2011-08-28 02:09:00

Meh... a typical boring hurricane. No extremely high winds, no driving rain, no power outages. Just a gigantic mess of leaves in the pool.2011-08-29 07:21:00
