You can count me in with wardaddy as an “us”.

Yes it’s a wet storm and yes there is surge but give me a break. This was not going to be anything like the hype. If it didn’t level the Bahamas as a Cat 3 in open water it was certainly not going to be a catastrophic hit on the east coast.

You’ll dry out, folks. There are rain systems that come in from the West for you guys that are wetter and more dangerous.

I certainly hope y’all aren’t faced with an Andrew.

And just like Wardaddy, you are on the wrong thread. This thread is for storm reports. Take your pick between A Reason Behind All The Media Hype About Irene? (VANITY) and/or in Breaking News you can join After Irene: Little damage seen in many places.

Okay, GatorGirl...as my dear mom always says--you win, pick up the marbles! I have kept quiet since your "my hurricane is bigger than your hurricane" comment of last night but many of us have never been through a hurricane before and this thread was very informative and a real comfort throughout the storm.
