By now, I'm sure all of you have heard of Hurricane Irene and her fast approach towards the east coast.

I know that I am probably going to get hit, as made obvious by the red dot on the first image. That's basically where I am. The last time we had a hurricane that wrecked where I live was Hurricane Fran back in 1996. Then almost nine years later, there was Hurricane Isabel, which magically managed to bypass us, leaving us only rain and mild winds.

I lived in Georgia most of my life and so missed out on the more traumatic hurricanes of the past 20 years, so I'm wondering if Irene really makes landfall here, what sort of havoc shall she reek?

So, whatcha guys think? Are any of you in danger currently according to the projection map?
 
We'll if it hits you, everyone will die.

Sad truth sorry.

But on a more serious notee

Probally houses destroyed, and if some people dont evacuate they could die...buisnesses will probally be destroyed, hearts crushed....the sad stuff that comes with a natural disaster

Luckily, here in Vegas nothing happens. Never felt an earthquake either..
 
wow thats some storm,hopefully just a small portion of it hits AZ,we could really use the rain

although the high winds is the last thing we need,i mean with all the dirt and sand here

That earthquake the other day was AWESOME. It was the most exciting way to end an Algebra class.
 
If the Hurricane hits your area, you should:

Stock up on water. Do this before hand. Fill your bathtubs, any empty water jugs, even pots if you have too. There is no way to predict how long you and your family could be without water.

Be prepared for no electricity. Do you have a generator? If you don't, stock up on candles, batteries, flashlights, and (important!) ice chest and ice. No electricity means no icebox, and all foodstuffs will go bad pretty quick. (My area has gone for weeks without power after hurricanes.)

Be prepared for no computers/tvs/internet. Books, boardgames, cards, etc...all the 1950's stuff can come in handy at a time like this.
 
lol id just avoid that whole situation and move to a out of state relatives house till the storm passes
 
lol winning in Denmark no hurricanes, no eartquakes none of all that.

ducttape's idea sounds good tho.

As someone whose been through more than a few hurricanes, this is all good advice. Also, pick up a game of Risk, that is a big time killer.
 
I'm sure a lot of the states near the East Coast are also going to feel the effects, lets just hope this won't be another Katrina.

But in all seriousness, if anyone is evacuating, stay safe. I'm willing to give people in the area my number as an emergency contact, just in case, if you want. STAY SAFE!

My dad is ex-marine so if anything does happen, I can give him a call and him and a few of his marine buddies can go extract you probably.

This is exactly the same thing you should do if there was a zombie apocalypse and typically hurricanes slow down or die out not long after hitting land.
 
Use your crappy laptop to board up the windows.
Then use your kitty to mop up the water.
