Hurricane Irene

At least all of our grass is green. Seriously the city looks like Ireland right now. 

Glad to hear Pat and Pat.
Though it does seem like the really bad sh*t is farther west.
Like Middletown is most vacated now and State College got biblical amounts of rain, though I'm worried about Mtown because the river near them is the Susquehanna and that is not the water I'd want flowing into town
OR if TMI floods all that delicious waste can flow around town. Then the zombie apocalypse will break out


The grass has indeed gone from brown and death itself to a bright green

This tragic incident took place about 5 miles from my house. Very sad.

Storms make their way towards England/Europe often (even as far as Iceland or Norway) but it's usually "extra tropical" by that time, it no longer has tropical characteristics and is pretty much just a bad storm. Though still expected to be 70 mph by the time it gets to Scotland, that is one bad storm! Though I'm sure you've had crazy windstorms before Torodd and speeds like that wont do much damage. I don't know if you guys have had much rain, if so just watch out for falling trees or power lines, if not it'll just be a very windy time

Just glad Katia stayed offshore, last thing we need. Supposedly the waves are pretty wicked though, I'm less than an hour from a beach and have no work today....might as well take some videos.

You never know how deep it may be and you don't need much moving water to take control of your car. Said driving to her boyfriend, we don't know the reason but unless it was very important that was not smart of her to do. With these weak storms its never the winds that kill people but flooding, usually because people do stuff like try to go driving through the water. Still very sad indeed Toddler, always hurts when it's close as well.

You teach her not to drive through deep water and years later along comes this punk out of a romance novel who influences her not to think clearly. Not to be so cold but it's like the people that willingly stay behind in bad hurricanes....we see it every time. Same thing, it's always sad when it happens, but if you're doing stuff like that you risk your life.
