A storm called Irene
First an earthquake, now something more normal (now a hurricane?) that might (but probably not?) head this way. Hard to top the freak thunderstorm last summer though, which did mostly light tornado-like damage but it smushed a house nearby and knocked out power for a few days (dress rehearsal for SHTF civil-collapse stuff). Anyway she’s Irene. That’s good. At least she’s got that going for her. She’s Greek Orthodox. Καλά!

Seriously of course I hope the Caribbean islanders and Southeasterners are safe.

Update: They’re saying it will hit NJ, possibly the worst hurricane in a century. Lord, have mercy.
