So far, Irene has not been very impressive. The news media is overreacting, just like with the earthquake.
"So far" (1:30 am) is well before when they are predicting to be the worst of the storm. If you want to say I told you so, then wait and do so tomorrow after 10 am.

Ehh, they'll get a hurricane/TS that's for sure, but I think there will be a lot of I told you so going around tomorrow. I for one have been impressed with what I've heard about how NJ and NY are handling this storm. I've been through a few Cat 1's and the damage was very mild, hoping the same for the NE.
You guys should be getting the blunt of it pretty soon. Best of luck to everyone up there, especially those that live near the water. Hopefully the damage will be minimal and everyone can get back to their lives pretty quickly.
Anyone who is more than 20 years old knows that these types of storms almost always either fade,die or change course and go out to sea after they reach Cape Hatteras. There is always at least 24 hours after a storm passes Cape Hatteras before it gets up here.It's just plain stupid to get so absolutely crazed about something 5 days ahead of time when the chances are it will never happen the way some of the fear mongerers predict.
most people under, too. i've been cynical about storms since I was eight!
