Hurricane Irene

I live in Connecticut and I am a little frightened even though the storm, hopefully, will diminish in intensity. My parents have seen the situation but they aren't preparing which is worrying me.

Anyone live on the east coast?

What do you think of the hurricane?

 

Lol, I live right in Florida, the hurricane is small, not like it's going to rip your roof off

 

I live in New York and the news is saying how they're evacuating people from hospitals and shit. Pretty crazy.

 

I live in Virginia, I don't think it's going to do too much harm here, probably just heavy wind and/or rain at the most, I'm kinda psyched for it. Although, I hope it doesn't do too much damage in other states.

 

Water (in general) scares me to death. Best of luck in your situation!

 

I also live in Florida. I have not seen anything to major yet, but if something were to occur, I would do my best to let you know.

Do not panic as of yet.

 

Thanks guys Connecticut hasn't forced an evacuation so perhaps the worst isn't coming after all.

 

Yea, Irene shouldn't be to bad but you can never be to careful.

 

I live in Baltimore by the time it gets here it should be withered down considerably.

I'm over here in California.. So yeah

 

They evacuated 80,000 people out of NYC low areas, so some people are taking it seriously.

 

I was supposed to be moving in to NYC for university on Sunday. It was recently moved to Monday though

But I'll be there for the storm!

 

Yea man i live in florida, had to evacuate i'm pissed ): i hate doing that, it's annoying as hell but oh well..

 

I'm Floridian too and like others have posted above its not too much to worry about. We Floridians know our hurricanes . The projected 80 mph wind speed when it strikes New York isn't fast at all and will probably only be felt over a swatch of less than 15 miles. The storm surge should be below 10 from what I have heard which is pretty insignificant, but its better to be safe than sorry!

 

I live in Maryland, Ocean City had to be evacuated apparently, and even Atlantic City was shut down!

Crazy, I hope no one dies: (

 

Lol, here in Florida we weren't even gonna do anything about the hurricane(No evacuating or anything), would have been a free day off school if it had hit directly

 

Is it likely to be anything similar to Hurricane Katrina?

 

No, lol. It's now a category one. It's unique because it's the biggest hurricane to hit the Northeast in 60 years.

 

I live in New Jersey and there has been a lot of people evacuated.

 

I live in Massachusetts. Once Irene comes up here it will just be tropical storms
