I live in North Carolina. When Irene hit us, I slept through the worst of it. We lost power for a grand total of three seconds. At the worst, we got light rain and 40 mph gusts. I went to the mall in the middle of the hurricane.
Frankly, I'm disappointed.

With all the ridiculous panic, I at least expected SOMETHING like the last hurricane I went through...
