Having lived though an Andrew and several CAT 3 storms in Florida I’m sort of chuckling at all this Irene drama.
Go though a Andrew and every other hurricane is a walk in the park...

I agree. I evacuated and didn’t go through Andrew but I came back to what the most unimaginable things I had ever seen. I will never forget it. Irene, bah, like a bad summer tropical thunderstorm.
Actually, Irene was very good to central NC. We’re going through a severe drought and we desperately needed the rain she brought. The winds were not even interesting (though I really love to watch trees react to wind).
