[Iceman]

No its been downgraded to a tropical storm.

[arista]

In NY
its downgraded to a Tropical Storm
Floods in low areas

[Iceman]

It was always gonna be the case but they cant take risks after Katrina

[arista]

CNN has been good
not using the Euro Staff
and for a change we get the Direct Yank Feed
which is better than the usual boring Golf shows.

By 9 a.m. Sunday, Irene was packing winds of 65 miles an hour, down from 75 mph earlier in the morning, according to the National Hurricane Center. Its center was moving over New York City and heading northeast at 26 miles an hour.

LOL :D

The power of nature both fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time. My ideal job would be a storm chaser. Im unsure if they get paid or not, probably not but I would LOVE to do it.

[nicole_burks]

This just came up on my tumblr. LOL
These are from New York.

Tropical Storm Irene has killed 37 people, and authorities warn that flooding could continue for up to three days in northern US states.

More than five million people remain without power, while Vermont is reeling from its worst floods in many decades.

Insurance claims could top $7bn (£4.3bn), the Consumer Federation of America estimated.

The brunt of Irene's impact was felt by towns and suburbs from North Carolina to Vermont.

Driving rains and flood tides damaged homes and cut power to more than three million people in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York alone.

Further damage predicted

The storm passed over the east coast at the weekend and has now moved over the border into Canada's north-eastern provinces.

Storm tragedies
Celena Sylvestri, 20, drowned when her car filled with water on a flooded New Jersey road. She had called her boyfriend and 911 for help.

A New York man was electrocuted when he tried to rescue a child on a street with downed power lines.

Two men in Florida drowned as they tried to swim or surf rough waves.

Seven people were crushed by falling trees in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
