Hurricane Irene

Who all in the forum has been hit with this, and how are y'all holding up?

I lost power sometime last night/this morning. I went to sleep around 3ish in the morning so I don't know what time it happened. Fortunately, I have a generator so I can operate the refrigerator, computer, and one TV until power gets restored.

From what I've heard, over 30 million people from North Carolina to Maine have lost power, and that was the report last night, it's probably increased since then. The worst of the storm has passed us although it's still raining and kinda windy, but around 1am last night it started to get brutal. I hope that everyone who lives between those areas stays safe!

Luckily she was only moving around 11 mph and didn't take any surprise lunges. I'm pretty sure most people had time to prepare or flee. Any idea on the damage to the city? I gotta wonder how Baltimore's doing, too.

I heard the Baltimore/DC area got hit pretty hard. Not sure about the totals though.

The last report I read for this area, like 700,000 in CT are without power (myself included) and 4 million people in NYC are without power, that's like half the city! I pray for everybody.

We just got the wind off of it here in the Charlotte area. The coast got nailed pretty hard though.

We're just getting rain up near Syracuse. Some moderate winds, but nothing really damaging. It's just been raining steady since 3:30am and probably won't stop until sometime tonight. The only real concern here is flooding.

We've been starting to get some wind, but that's it. Not really expecting to get hit with much

Here in MD/DC it rained for about 15 hours straight, winds, etc We had minimal damage to my place. ..Just water that made it to the basement. We have power but there are still several folks without power.

We got fucked up hard, finally got everything back about 2 hours ago. I was previously running on generator power but now I feel rejoiced that I can finally use my central air, oven, and washer/dryer.

Good to hear. And, you don't need an oven. They make microwaves for a reason.

You better at least have a toaster oven you nasty soggy food eatin motherfucker.

I do have a toaster oven, and a GRILL!! So I eat quite well you dog eatin motherfucker!

And Shaun, I do have a microwave, but they don't work when the power is out. Fortunately, now it does.
