East Coast Members Stay Safe

[Mommy2many]

Steve, you are right, at least in my area. It will be localized flooding and many trees and branches down, making traveling a problem. They already canceled Ashley's first day of school, which kinda tells you how serious they are taking this storm. They have never canceled school this far in advance of any storm that I have ever been aware of. Including the blizzards we have had in the past. We are gonna sit tight and keep ya'all updated.

The news siad we'r getting rain from the storms over there, but that doesnt make senes to me.

[Mommy2many]

No, not from Hurricane Irene. She is only stretching into Eastern PA, I believe.

I have been able to visualize to a very small degree what you will be going through, last night here in Liverpool we had a storm lots of very loud thunder and lightning accompanied by torrential showers, not bad enough to cause any damage just inconvenience,mostly to the thousands of visitors from all over the world here for the bank holiday Beatles weekend
please stay safe.

right now it's so calm here
we're not in an evacuation zone, but I know people who are, and several hospitals and nursing homes were evacuated yesterday
it's like were holding our breath
I've set up the bunnies in the sunporch
let's hope this Irene doesn't hang out here much
have you seen this hurricane tracker thing?
