6. blown out of proportion
new yorker ,   brooklyn   (08.28.11)
a lot of a bigger deal was made out of this than what it really was. heavy rain and wind storm for a mere few hours.dont know why subways were closed down all day ?!
7. Well, it's over and we're fine here in DC
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.28.11)
As expected, the storm hugged the coast to the east, with some areas receiving over 14" of rain. Lots of flooding there with many areas without power. The city fared much better, with winds of 39-45mph max and maybe 4-5". The sun peeked out around noontime, though it was mildly windy still. I just took a long walk through Rock Creek Park where the cyclists and joggers have already returned. The creek's waters were perhaps a foot or two above normal level; we'll see if they rise further as upstream waters reach it.
8. Glad the Hype is Over
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (08.29.11)
Really. In the past, for huge storms like Hazel and Hugo, the media and Gov't. flunkies couldn't have cared less. This time the pols are all over themselves conveying concern and giving instructions. So what's really going on? What are they trying to divert us from? And just so we're clear? Any yutz stupid enough to not understand that a hurricane is dangerous is better not off having more idiots like him/herself.
9. Did you ever notice how Obama puts himself
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.29.11)
in every news story? If the railroad has a problem....He runs down to the nearest rail road track and calls the media for a news conference. If the Ice melts on a glacier in Alaska.....Obama immediately has a news conference on the ice cubes melting in his broke down freezer....and inserts himself in the story. Maybe Obama is just using everyone for publicity. Why should he care about anyone other than himself and his incessant vacations?
10. POTUS
Pasquinel ,   London. Canada   (08.29.11)
This man needs to stop putting his mug in front of the camera, enough is enough We are sick of looking at him and his self importance. Israel is relevant in history The USA. won't be. Jerusalem not NY, is the capital of the world. Yanks get it straight. You are either pro G_D or against G_D' Don't dis His people.
11. O's magic
Pasquinel ,   London.Canada   (08.29.11)
Is O going to have another magical misery tour?
12. Stay Safe! God bless the USA

13. It's not over since there is the possibility of the weight

of the water causing the tectonic plates to shift resulting in earthquakes according to Mitch Battros' Earth Changes Media newsletter. It was rather peculiar that Hurricane Irene did not go inland at the Carolinas but TURNED and went NORTH, causing as much damage as possible. WHAT caused the hurricane to TURN? Obama and HAARP Alaska as a weather weapon? Or Russia's HAARP attacking America? Hmmmmm? Obama is an Indonesian and had HAARP Alaska turned on and aimed at Japan when the 9.0 quake hit there. Coincidental? Hmmm? Or a vendetta over Japan's ruthlessness toward Indonesia in World War II? In Indonesia, Obama is a hero and there is a biographical movie about his life. He is Indonesian and a usurper of the US Presidency and must be impeached before he causes more harm to America than he has.
14. What an
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (08.29.11)
ignorant putz. All of that fol de rol for a Cat 1 Huricane? 50 mph winds. And some rain squalls. Drumming up a "gutsy" photo op at an empty desk. Pathetic. simply pathetic.
