I just dislike sweeping assumptions. Who knows. You probably will be feeling bad to hear of people that diied in this storm when you were being rude. Also: for northern areas that are not prepared for storms even 50-80 mph winds are destructive....we had a THUNDERSTORM in my area and cars were destroyed, trees splintered, power outages for 24 hours and blocked streets from a storm much weaker than Irene is going to be. Thanks for calling me out but you're a noob, grow up.
