Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
That looks really bad Mattyk. Vermont got owned too. It's funny, people here are talking about how the hurricane is overhyped because it wasn't that bad locally. They fail to realize dozens of people died, over 7B in damages and 5M power outages.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
Heres a pic of my neighbor across the street 2 doors down (it hit the persons house next to him). There is TONS of this around Richmond. Fortunately we didnt really get any real flooding. Theres a 1 foot wide by 40 foot tree that is suspended by power lines i have to drive under to get out of neighborhood . Ive done it 3 times now and i cringe each time.
One thing that is quite remarkable is how fast the clean up has been. Yesterday morning there were a lot of tree like this blocking roads, by the evening the majority of them got cleaned up. Im still without power. At least half of the people i work with are also without power. Sucks. Ive heard Dominion is supposed to come out with a timeline later today.

I agree, this storm wasn't overhyped. Maybe for some areas it was, but in general it's better to be safe than sorry, especially considering what happened with Katrina. |

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
I'm sorry for the damage to your communities, guys.
And yes, when it comes to hurricanes it is far better to be overhyped than underhyped.

Damn Matty, that's pretty frightening.
More pics on destruction. Some of those places up north got trashed/flooded big time. 25 Frightening Photos Of Hurricane Irene's Destruction: Pics, Videos, Links, News

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
Obviously loss of life is the heart wrenching and by far the worst thing that happened, especially that 11 year old kid from va beach. I also feel terrible for all the people that lost their homes or had property damage or money they loose from not being able to work or having to throw all their food away. But i also hate seeing a lot of these huge really nice mature trees come down, especially considering how many of them fell.

I just hope the next big one is not ignored or played down.
