I will be there one day. If the storm wins, carry on.

Good thoughts from afar are never a bad thing, no matter what metaphor we use to channel the energy.  Be safe and well, over there on the East Side.

Q: How is a hurricane like a marriage

A: It starts with a blow job and before you know it you just lost your house.

Amen to that. Now if they only hadn't boarded up the local liquor store... Damn I am too slow. Should have had my priorities straight.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone. Mine go out to everyone else on the coast too. Be careful everybody. Keep in touch if you can.

What lovely sunshine said.

That just reminds me that this also happened when the attack happened in London in 2005...where I also received many calls, sms and emails to check if I am ok...and I was far away from london at that time due to working with a client in Bristol...but simply friends and mates don't know where you are at that time and are often worried.

Good luck to all the people living in the areas visited by Irene

Status: offline 		Initially I wasn't all that concerned since Montreal is fairly far from the water hurricanes generally pass us on their way to wreak havoc on the Maritimes. However, according to the forecast we are to be fairly hard-hit, thankfully on Sunday when most of us can just hunker down and wait it out.

My concern is for the homeless who may have nowhere to go, the winds are supposedly going to be horrific and the shelters tend to fill up fast.

I hope that you at least board/tape your windows as best you can. Please stay safe and post after Irene has passed to let us know you're okay.

Thanks, I am just hoping it will all be over soon.

Please do pray. I am pretty worried about my parents who are refusing to evacuate after a mandatory evcauation was given. So yes please stay safe and make preparations now.

I don't think hurricanes have much respect for prayers, please do something practical instead
A hurricane doesn't hear prayers, but God sure does.

All I have to worry about now is flooding. I have some low ground here, a creek in the back yard and the dirt is always saturated with water as it is without rain. And I'm getting tons of rain now.

Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers. How is everyone else doing? Is everybody still okay?

Flooding may be the worst but I would protect your windows just in case. Better that than to do nothing and have glass shards fly at you, right? Irene hasn't hit here yet but I admit I'm getting just a bit nervous.

Stay safe everyone,

I'm only kidding. How is everyone making out? I hope everybody in its path is okay. This storm really puttered out where I am. They evactuated O.C. and I am right next to it. I was expecting to be carried to another state by now. Glad I wasn't.

Thankfully, it seems to have weakened a good bit. Be well, everyone. Best wishes to those who got it worse. Hang in there.

How does one tell if a hurricane is a girl or guy? Do the meteorologists lift up its skirt and check?

Amyg I'm glad you weren't as hard hit as predicted.
