Looks like it might hit New England  :hmm:
We're due, we haven't been hit since Bob in 1991.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

First hurricane in 20 years and you're sitting it out in Korea. Tsk.

Garage might be crushed by the old tree in back, but the house should be fine. Our house is in the northeast corner of the state.

If this track holds, this hurricane could hit the North East fairly hard, or harder than usual when we mainly get heavy wind and rain from a hurricane. Rare that one hits us very hard. I remember one, maybe a couple, that hit hard this far north, though not with the power they hit down south.

I hope it doesn't hit Northeast.  That area is still recovering from the devastating earthquake.

Is it in the middle of your street?

Irene? Fucking Irene?
You have to be kidding me.
That's a bad name.

Sounds like a bitchy woman, that's a perfect name for a hurricane.

:lol:

Hope it fades, could bring a good deal of flooding if it stays on track.

It's still not clear what we'll get here in VA. Right now it's looking like just rain and some light winds, if even that. Depends on where it falls into the "cone of probability".
Hopefully it won't be like Isabel and it's week-long power outage. I will be disappointed if we get absolutely nothing, however.

And someday, I hope to go through a hurricane. Preferably just a 1 or 2.

A solid 1 HM Bob.  Hurricanes are not to be triffled with.

Yeah, like Syt pointed out, there's maybe a dozen recognizable names. Add to that that one gets taken every other year, and you run low pretty quick.
