I'm worried. this storm might really be bad, particularly because the speed in which it is traveling is relatively slow. so when it's atop an area it just continues to wreak havoc...I have concern for everyone threatened in this vast area, multi states from n. carolina in the south traveling northward along the east coast all the way up to maine and canada. keep an eye out for our friend dave(agoodguytoknow), as he lives and works in the possible path of said storm. also I'm sure that many of our other poet friends are in harms way, in apology I just don't recall their names. also, it would be remiss for me not to mention my concerns for our island friends in the carribean. bahamas is under the gun as I type...it is projected that Irene will hit mainland US at the outer banks NC tomorrow...I am reminded that there is no such thing as a small hurricane...
