Hurricane Irene
I'm in Northeast Maryland. Right on the Chesapeake Bay. Even though it is now a Category One storm, we will get severe flooding and wind damage. I pray for all in the path of the storm. Will try to keep everyone posted as long as the power holds out. Peace!!!P.S. True storm troopers already have their bottles!!!

Have flashlights with fresh batteries installed
and candles with matches ready.
Also, Montecito, I do not wish to alarm you, but do check what angle your trees may fall in, as there has already been one loss of a far far too young 11yr old..
Another tree will also fall onto the roof of the kitchen from a different angle.
There is a monster tree with a trunk about 30 inches across. I don't think that will fall in the direction of the house. If it does it will hit the apartment in the front of the house and not me.....hopefully.
I don't have flood insurance but my landlord undoubtedly has insurance on the property. However, this is Mother Nature a/k/a an act of God so I don't think he or I will get any insurance payments.
And both tree will fall on my new car....
Will try to check back in later...
You will realize once this weak storm has passed, the people giving you the information are idiots.
take care , you are welcome to send me mail if you want to talk
Plenty of intelligent people have been reporting on this for a couple days. But big money does not want you to hear them.
The science is/was there to know this storm was NOT the danger they are telling you it is.
Now I hear FIVE people have already died "from" the storm. One of the deaths they are counting is a man who had a heart attack putting plywood on his house BEFORE the storm.
FEMA is a joke! Huge waste! I have participated in it, that is how I know.
his house. For some reason I don't find this funny.
So I came to blogs thinking it would be fun. I found people to be kind, fun and understanding and I thought I'd hang around to see how you guys relate to each other..
What I didn't expect was someone to say that a storm that has killed people, destroyed homes, cars and created fear is just a joke.
I am not a confrontational person and so I will not respond to him directly but I will say ....you will not have the last laugh......what goes around, comes around..
I don't wish any harm to him but I lived in Florida and I know how bad a hurricaine can get. I hope he doesn't ever experience the worry of the roof of his house blowing off.
He has not forced me to leave. He's just made me see that arrogant people live in the blogs as well as the forums...
G'nite all....
Hoping all of you on the East coast are safe and sound.CNN is reporting no change of force on it's trip to the north. Thoughts and prayers to all. Hope Lady Liberty survives it with all of you. God bless, Holly
My dad would always make us watch these things on TV[What choice did we have with just 3 stations?] He would say you will be reading about this in school someday. They did say this one started in Africa, tropical heat, is so huge[the size of Europe and long lasting that it will be know as historical and be studied by all students and scholars in weather. Just unbelievable.
News a minute ago said the death toll has been raised to 9.
It has started raining hard here with slight wind.
Another hour and the wind will get worse but the brunt of storm won't hit until midnight EST.
It's only a category 1 but from what I've learned it's not the number of the category that makes it a death trap.
They are saying once it leaves NJ and NY it will be down to a tropical storm. But still, that doesn't mean it can't bring damage and flooding to those north of me.
I think New York will survive the wind because of the tall buildings but lower Manhattan which is on the Hudson River is going to get flooded. True it's only water, but with the recession people don't need 8 and 10 feet of water in their homes and businesses.
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program guys....
