I KNEW IT. New Yorkers go apeshit about Hurricane Irene but honestly, why are you freaking out when people along the coast over farther south should be worrying more. For New York, Hurricane Irene was merely a strong tropical storm, and come on, we get those all the time. Don't doubt New York that much. We might not be the strongest in building structure but you really don't have to worry that much cuz they got it all under control. Unless the eye of the hurricane was hitting us, or if it was a category 3 hurricane, that's another story. But it was a category 1 hurricane and people sold out the supermarkets for no reason at all. Heck man, especially if you're in Queens/Manhattan/Bronx/Brooklyn, what the hell were you freaking out about? My power is still on, nothings broken, I see no fallen trees, I don't see a flood, everything is the same. Oh no way, a few branches fell down. -_- Obviously this hurricane was over exaggerated for new yorkers... Long Islanders are near the coastline but even there, a few trees fell down, but the damage is bearable. Power outages are expected but I actually wanted the power to go out LOL. So yeah, I'm glad that no one's hurt or anything and that the number of deaths was only 6. It would have been far worse if there were more. I'm not sure if there were more, but from what I heard last, it was 6 deaths but it could have increased so I'm not sure, hopefully not though. Stay safe, and relax. Oh Irene, you got people talking about you for no reason at all!
