storms, tornados and high wind damage throughout the mid west all the way over to
the Carolinas. The rain we can always use but damaging storms are never wanted or needed. There have been areas that have already been hard hit with tornados and floods so early in the storm season. It makes you realize that you MUST always be prepared for the owrst with mother nature to save lives. This is a serious threat so please be watchful and take the appropriate measures to protect yourself, family and friends.

The days preceding her arrival there was a chance that it could hit as far south as Charleston but as she approached that changed and it was moved farther north. Hurricanes always seem to become some sort of cult phenomenon despite the destruction they can cause. New Yorkers are by far the most interesting when told they could be in the path of Irene. They throw parties, make t-shirts and generally make jokes. While down here in the south people seem to take them way more seriously. I just hope that no matter where Irene hits that people are smart and safe and there is no injuries and minimal damage to property.
