Uh. I bet 98% of Pakistan doesn't know this hurricane exists. They were knocked around by something totally different.

Then who did it hit .

All of the Caribbean, and now us.

Awesome?

You are one sad little kid, one day you'll mature and understand it's a part of nature, and there's nothing I can do about it, so I have no reason to be concerned.

Mega, youre over-reacting

Ein, are you evacuating?

Nah, since I'm west of I-95, I'm going to see a grand total of a few showers and 20-mph winds. We hav 20-mph winds on a clear day. Cy on the other hand is looking at 40-mph winds and heavy rain. BUt I don't think there's been any evac orders for OC.

Cape Hatteras is having 40-mph winds with 70-mph gusts as I speak. Brutal.

And Mega, if you think this little swideswipe of a hurricane will be that bad, I hope to god you never go through an Isabel or an Agnes or a Hugo. All three were direct hits on me/my parents. I wasn't alive for Agnes or Hugo, but I vividly remember the 70+ mph winds with a Category 2 hurricane Isabel. Not to mention the 100+ mph gusts. Agnes packed only 40 mph winds, but the flooding was devastating. And I'm talking about inland. On the little sandbar known as Long Island, an Agnes or an Isabel or a Hugo (Category 1 storm) would turn that sandbar into a coral reef. Thank god you haven't been hit by one of them.

This could be a lot worse. A LOT worse. We're getting spared, relatively speaking.

Also, I agree with Cy. There ain't shit I can do about a hurricane except watch and wait. That's why I got excited when I thought we might see some decent air movement.

It's hitting NS directly.

I agree on Mega about how dangerous a hurricane is, it is unpredictable, so watch out.

It's not as unpredictable as you would think. The average error in one-day forecast tracks for hurricanes by the National Weather Service is under 50-miles.

ONe time event. But whatever, the important part about this particular hurricane is there has been no loss of life so far.

and then the house blows over!

good luck ridin out the storms, sometimes it depends where you are in a state, like when katrina hit it grazed fl and rained allot at our aunts house where we went to avoid it, and didn't rain at all at our house...*facepalm*
