Hurricane
I figured I would start a thread entitled "Hurricane" since we have one called "Earthquake". I hope all DTers and their families are safe and seek refuge from this storm as advised. It's a big storm, lots of rain and surge with it.

The east coast experiences an earthquake and hurricane all in the same week. Naa.  Everyone stay safe.

My buddy's Bahamian in-laws have called from their satellite phone and are okay. House has roof damage, the fishing boat (their income source) survived, but they say Irene caused more damage to the islands than their last big direct hit, Andrew.
They are being told the power will be back on within a week (it was shut off as a precaution midnight Wedneseday/Thursday), but phone/cell phone could be well over a month. The four legged cell tower on the next island over was snapped in half. I hope everybody in Irene's path on the east coast can stay safe this weekend.

The surge is a concern considering high tide and the new moon.
The storm is weakening a little. Hope it continues to do so. Norfolk is f.ucked either way.

Still expected to reach 125 mph. I told my Mom a little bit ago to drag the rest of my family out here to Roanoke.

They need to get out of dodge. The ground is already saturated and the wind will have branches flying everywhere. Norfolk will be flooded. Power outages up and down the coast.
Mass chaos.
