Irene has passed-cleanup time

I hope you are back to normal soon. Glad you are OK.

Good luck to you wyley-wombat.
What a mess; I heard on the news that it might take a couple of days for power to be restored? Sure left a mess in her wake. Take care.

It was at one point a category 3 almost a 4 and did damage all the way up the Caribbean and East Coast. Not as much in some areas as was originally predicted, but close to 4 million people are without power and there is flooding in many places. Hopefully we won't get anymore rain in this next week as we have already gotten a record amount for August not even counting Irene. The residual effects are now what is worrisome for those in flood zones and in areas where rivers and reservoirs are cresting or close to overflowing.

From the Carribean to North Carolina hurricanes are the norm. This storm was overstated and over hyped as "the storm of a lifetime." It wasn't.

And your point? You have a beef with the media or you just disappointed? Afterall, it did hit the "liberal" side of the country right?

You're SOOO correct again, Warren_Merrill,
How stupid we all are - it was just a great big liberal plot to get people upset.

lmao....I knew Bush was behind it!

sarcasm font is on

Here's the difference between most of the people on this board and me. I don't wish bad fortune on anyone due to their political persuasion. Also, I own two homes that were in the path of the storm. One is right on the beach. My beef with the media is how they overhype storms all the time. At least John Bolaris was fired in Philadelphia for predicting the storm of the century for a day the sun shined. He kept calling it the perfect storm. I think he saw one too many movies.

You can only pin the earthquake on Bush. I heard Obama called it Bush's Fault.

Here's another difference: your posts demonstrate the attitude of a pompous ass and most of posts of the people on "this Board" do not.

At least I'm happy. I'm not whining and complaining on a board everyday that THE MAN is keeping me down. I never let others control my life. I created my own path to success and happiness.

Will that mean OLbama ever stop picking on poor George?

Thank you.

I'm glad too. I admit I was a bit nervous about it. I fully respect Mother Nature.

It's high time everyone did!

How is your sister?

Thanks. I read 155,000 without power in Rhode Island. This was a huge storm.

Thanks bailey. I'll be going out to survey the area, but I'll be careful. ;-).

Thanks.

Thought about you and New Jersey this morning, glad you hear got thru it - be careful out there.

Thank you for the informative link, Jan.

Glad you're okay! ☺

Still have the wind and its overcast again. But I think the worst is over.

Thanks.

Jan, I am glad to know that you made it through the storm!
