Irene by-passed us here in Georgia, but even where I am 100 miles from the Atlantic coast, we had some wind and a little rain from feeder bands. I noticed a big pine limb down in a neighbor's driveway on my way home from work.
Even weakened as it is this storm is taking a track through some of the most populated places in our country. We don't think much of a Cat-1 storm in the South, but I doubt New York City is ready for it. Best wishes to any of you in harms way!...Geo
I'm all the way on the west side of the state and we NEED the rain. Wish some of those rain bands had made it this far inland.
