Hurricane Irene Post Mortem:

[HerbChao]

For those of us who were in the Hurricane's path hopefully things are ok now-I live outside of Boston, there's a few parts that lost pwr (I'm charging my phone and laptop at a Panera as we speak) but I did hear that other parts of the US down South were hit a lot harder. So thoughts and prayers to everyone who's been affected, be alert and support your fellow man (and woman) through this moment.

I heard that a few branches broke and some leaves fell. This is probably the most tragic east coast hurricane for the past 5 years.... To anyone who cannot get on the internet or xbox live my prayers go out to you, also my condolences to the poor trees

and those that cant get on the Playstation Network, its probably been hacked again -_-

Casualty rate so far;

15 Hot dog stands tipped over by the wind

5,504 Xbox/Playstations unable to connect to the interwebs

and the most devastating of all

15 million interrupted porn streams which resulted in hospital emergency rooms are being overrun by cases of acute pelvic congestion ie. "Blue Balls."

The horror....the horror.

no xbox live? that's like saying air ran out.

I'm in Rhode Island, we were supposed to get hit real hard. It was really windy, not as much rain as expected. Overall for us Irene was a dud

In Florida it feels like Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix every time a hurricane does a Top Gun air traffic control window breaking fly-by.

Hope everybody's fine, my thoughts and prayers for those who were affected. Hurricane Irene, on top of its psychological toll, has left a large number of individuals dealing with costly fixes for property damage. And there are those concerned individuals who want to help relieve some of that burden through relief charitable groups. But tragedies like these also bring out the crooks, desperate to make a fast buck off the already-suffering. The Better Business Bureau last Friday issued some steps you can take in sorting the legitimate from the devious.

Upstate NY was hit by flooding mostly. Glad I live a little west of those flood areas. Yeah, I have 3 cousins who are contractors in Florida. Everytime a Hurricane comes thru they call it the Money Train!
