Default Hurricane Irene

Yep, it's coming right for us here in NE NC... I like how the weather channel downplays us and says it'll be one of the worst storms in New England

It's slated to be a category 1 when it hits them

It's slated to be a category 3 when it hits us

Fun times ahead, hope my garage don't flood lol

Batten down the hatches, John. Hurricanes suck. Been through a couple myself. I hope you make it through ok.

The media has a habit of focusing on one area and ignoring others. In April, tornadoes devastated our area of N. AL. But the media made it sound like only Tuscaloosa (home of Univ. of AL) got hit hard. Guess they go for name recognition.

Thanks for your well wishes Dave,

Guess I'll see how well my house holds up, we just bought it in February

Luckily, it's downgraded to a cat 2 "supposedly" when it will hit us. Bad part is it keeps moving west more and more, putting us closer to the eye...
