The issue with Katrina was that it broke the levy system there. So New Orleans got seriously fucked because of it. Now the coast of Mississippi got obliterated because of the direct contact as a low cat 4. From what I'm seeing here, Irene is only a cat 1, like below 85 mph now. As long as people stay inside away from windows, they should be fine. Coming from central Florida, I was born and raised on being prepared for shit like this, because you just don't know what will happen. Thankfully enough, Tampa Bay hasn't had a direct impact of a hurricane in 80+ years. But as I say, you just don't know if a hurricane is gonna come in or not living here in central Florida.
As for the heat, you all need to quit your bitching, it's been hitting the 90's with high humidity since early March for me if not the end of February, and probably gonna stay that way all the way to October. So you're talking to the wrong fucking cowboy here. Now if it's winter time and it gets below 20 degrees and actually snows (which has been ridiculously close in the past 2 years), it would be another story.
