Hurricane Irene to tear through Northeast.

Think of the hurricane as Christmastime. You buy large amounts of food, go last minute shopping in crowded stores, have family calling from out of state, light a bunch of candles, and you might even end up with a tree in your living room!

Down power line in my front yard. Massive electrical fire. Shit is scary.

 

Still down and still live. Sparking up every 15 minutes or so. I have called 911 five times in the past 8 hours.

Yeah, I didn't get it too bad. Some streets have trees/huge branches that came down, which along with the lost power made the roads a little tricky to maneuver through, but otherwise there was no issues.

I live about 10 minutes away from hudson river, used to live 5 minute walk, but we call that 'in town' and I live a bit out of town. Anyway the town of Cold Spring apparently got hit pretty hard, the Hudson flooded a lot, which was expected, but lots of downed trees and stuff...

A lot of people talking about how the East Coast is full of sissies again, but it's mostly people living in locations that never see severe weather.
