I'm just getting a little tired of the hype, Irene is most likely to come ashore as a category one, maybe even as a tropical storm, dangerous yes, but unless you actually live in a flood zone, it's probably better to stay put rather than evacuate. When this proves to be a meh event, it will be much harder to get people pay attention when that category four shows up to smash things...

Stay safe, John!  cheers, Christine

It's pretty much been a non-event around here so far. There's some news of flooding down east, but it doesn't look like even that's too serious.

I'm sure there's a good bit of property damage, but it looks like it's more from there being a lot denser population in eastern NC now than in the days of the legendary hurricanes like Hazel. More property there to be damaged, rather than from the power of this storm.

The greatest effect for me personally is I got distracted checking the weather & forgot what I was doing. Diced my tomato instead of slicing it, so I ended up using it to make an omelet instead of a BLT sandwich. 8-D
