I'm sure a handful of us on the populated east coast were in the path of the hurricane. For those that were affected by the storm, tell us your stories! Did you witness any severe weather firsthand? Experience any property damage?

As for myself, I wasn't affected at all since I'm all the way here in California

Well I'm making this post right now so unless I'm a zombie, or a ghost, I'm still alive.

Although in my town some idiot decided to get his canoe out into the streets and it capsized and he died.

@Spirit: The floods.

Anyways, im posting here so yes im alive Our house was one of the few with power too

My house got hit by a bolt of lightning. The only damage it did was psychologically, and it increased my fear of the dark.

Nah, I'm dead. Hurricane came over here in NC and ate me up.

I live in Arizona, so while you might think we were still in the dead heat during this hurricane, we actually had a few pretty good rainstorms like this last Friday, which is probably what was left of Irene. That's usually why we have monsoon season in late July and August.

There were some really funny pics on Irene's facebook page, but im not gonna post them xD

Right, I see that now. In that case, there could have been some smaller storm that made its way over to Arizona by Friday. I actually skipped Geoscience in high school, so I'm actually pretty terrible at keeping up with weather. Science is one of my weaker subjects, really (and yet I'm really strong at math. Could I be more academically polar to A'bom?)

Hey guys, don't worry, Irene's drunk sister Katja is gonna be here soon.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Uncle Larson.

Hurricane Jose is that crappy to skip? lol

While the hurricane died out by the time it came all the way up here, my cousin, who's currently in college at SUNY New Paltz, was hit. Nothing too major, just some flooding. Apparently a few people there went kayaking in the streets.

I think today we might have got more rain then the actual hurricane.
