The so-called weather professionals are all coming to similar forecasts now regarding Hurricane Irene. It looks to be taking aim on the general New York metro area, and I gotta tell ya, I'm getting a little antsy.

I'm not worried about flooding where I live.... I'm more than five miles inland from the ocean and the elevation is over fifty feet, but I AM worried about wind damage (big tree right outside) and the house already creaks when someone farts outside.
