Is anyone else concerned about Earl?

[Anonymous]

The news reports say that Hurricane Earl is currently on track for the Carolinas but could also reach land further east. I really don't want a repeat of Isabel.

I am not concerned about Earl reaching here - yet - but I would be concerned if I were going to the beach this weekend.

I'd be worried if I lived in Montgomery County. We were there for Isabel and didn't have power for days.

No. I don't think it's likely to affect us this far inland, and may blow back out to sea altogether by the time it comes this far north.

Yes. Wind + Rain + Pepco = no power

It's Mother Nature! Anything could happen. I'm watching it.

I been blocking. I'll probably lose my mind if we lose power again.

I know I won't be buying anything to put in my fridge... I'm tired of throwing food away.

In a year with blizzards and tornados and earthquakes and the coldest winter ever and the hottest summer ever, I don't see how Earl can miss us!

[Anonymous]

When was the tornado? How did I miss that?

I remember that Isabel was no big deal. Though maybe that's because I never lost power. Pepco has not been doing a great job of managing the power issues, though. I think we'll probably be sure to have plenty of non-perishable food that doesn't need to be cooked on hand -- our gas range has an electric ignition so when the power's out, so is our oven.

We lost power w/Isabel and didn't get it back for a week.

"No big deal," indeed.

Isabel was no big deal? I didn't lose power, but it was a big deal! Schools were closed for several days, etc.

O.P who is Earl? Are you talking about the guy who reads the news?

Yes. I'm concerned about him. He seems depressed.

This is when I feel a little less unhappy about living in a one bedroom in DC. We never lose power.
