My wife and children are supposed to be flying home Saturday around 3:30pm into RDU. I'm guessing that does not happen.

From a friend who's a professional met:
Let me be clear about something....Hurricane Irene is perhaps the most over-hyped weather event in news history. These people are running around like the world is going to end in New York City. The thing won't even be a hurricane when it gets up there. You will see the phrase "we dodged a bullet" about 50 times in the news on Monday. Ridiculous.
It's not me, it's someone else.

I've heard Obama is going to start blaming the bad economy on bad weather/earthquakes/and shit, so they gotta hype them.TheCatt wrote:From a friend who's a professional met:Let me be clear about something....Hurricane Irene is perhaps the most over-hyped weather event in news history.

Looks weak. We'll be at the beach the day after it passes.

You can find the big shells and stuff after a storm.

I taunted it so it started moving closer to where I live. We'll see if I have power Tuesday

Nothing noticeable, other than lots of leaves on the ground, and it rained a lot yesterday and overnight.
My parents (at the beach), don't have power though.

Parent got power back already. Apparently in between us was at least one tornado.

Hopefully Thib's extended family will be ok?
