Irene, She is a Comin!

Periodically checking in on CNN's live report and taking in the ExxonMobil advertisements. I guess it's been a decade since Bob visited so there's some anxiety in the air. Local supermarket was packed and most of the gallon+ water containers were gone. Buses and trains shut down tomorrow at noon with taxis going until the Mayor says stop.

Have most of the basic supplies lined up. Found the local hurricane information online. Looks like the area evacuation center is a high school a few blocks away. I'm pretty far into north Brooklyn so I don't expect much, thankfully. Apparently some of the high risk areas have mandatory evacuations declared.

Currently the storm is a Category 2 though it's expected to be a Category 1 once it makes landfall south of the state. See what happens in the next twenty-four hours.

Should check on some of the fundamentalists. I'm willing to bet they attribute the earthquake earlier this week and the Irene's impending visit to the Marriage Equality Act…
