Anyone in Irene's path- know that we're thinking 'bout'chas and praying too!

My line of work is monitoring security systems of offices all over the country. Including power failures and environmental/mechanical alarms- like sump pump failures, heating/cooling failures, phone failures, glass-breaks, etc.

Our alarm boards are just now starting to go nuts in North Carolina. I expect it to be a hectic weekend here...

Stay safe and be careful any of you along the Eastern Seaboard!
 
It's hard to believe we have a Hurricane and Louisiana is not involved. However, I overheard some people talking that said they would take Irene just to get the rain.
 
I to have all the folks in the storm area on my prayer list.
JP, I am one of those folks needing rain so bad. CF
 
I sure didn't like the map on the weather channel with all that in my area! Scared me for sure - but all is well.
 
I can hardly believe it appears that w/ all the region that was effected looks like it turned out that l'il ol land-locked Vermont might have turned out to be hit the hardest- by a HURRICANE! Imagine!
 
Kevin, sure does look bad. I know in our area with the storms its the heavy rain and flooding that cause the most damage. We are not to near the gulf, so the rain is what we usually get. Maybe the water will start to recede soon. CF:)
 
Today they asked if FEMA is going to run out of money but they claim its from some hidden fund. I wonder just how much is hidden elsewhere - that the government can't give people their cost of living raises for 3 years now and they are taking food stamps away from people that need them.
FEMA does not GIVE anything to anyone - you can BORROW and pay interest on it.
 
Speaking os strange weather...


With the huge heatwave that was everywhere this summer- including here in Illinois. After a couple weeks of rather nice stuff- we actually saw our HOTTEST day Thursday. We reached 101. And a nearby town reached 106. These are actual ambient temps- not heat indexes. Sheesh! So much for the dog days of AUGUST! September's shaping up to be quite a scorcher so far.

Weatherman is calling for sustained HOT temps the next couple days- and then remarkably highs of only the low 70's Labor Day and all next week. I like! :)
 
We had a couple days of cool weather and we actually had to put a blanket on the bed at night for several nights. Now the humidity is back again - but it won't last - fall is in the air - you can feel it and smell it. I can't wait! Love fall - dread winter.
