well someone from NJ died in Florida during the Hurricane

Irene just cleared our area. What a let-down: some broken twigs, some rain, and... that's it. I've been in minor snowstorms that were more intense. Way too much hype. :?

What we got was a lot of rain, some broken twigs, and 10 seconds worth of power outage.

Don't get me wrong: it's a good kind of letdown. No one I know was hurt or killed. It's still kind of a letdown, though.

One other thing... a few days ago, someone mentioned that a 2.9 tremor centered in Altamont may or may not have broken a local dam. That dam apparently held up with no serious problems... very good thing, too (story here).

power just came on here 2 hours ago been without power for bout a day. All in all it was not bad at all but I have seen tons upon tons upon tons of trees down around here since I live in a wooded area.

What I'm saying is, the news had us preparing for something on the order of Armageddon: "It's going to be a Cat 1 hurricane that just stepped down from a Cat 2... it will tear through the area causing catastrophic damage... make peace with God, for the End of Days is near!!!"OrkHammer007

When you get a mandatoy evacuation order it would be wise to follow it

Exactly. I remember reading a news story about a woman who called her friend who didn't evacuate on Bolivar Peninsula during the storm. The woman was never heard from again and whereabouts unknown, all because she didn't want to leave her house, she lost her life. While I don't feel bad for adults that don't evacuate when told to do so, I feel bad for the kids who lose their life due to their parents stupid decision to ride out a storm.

If you hadn't said anything I would not have noticed, but looking back, I see the post with the pics I posted are gone. Thank you. He has made some really weird claims recently and not just in this thread or sub-forum.
