Forecasts say North Carolina, but could DC, New Jersey or New York handle a hurricane?

1. The Good News: Projected as a Cat-1 only

This does not look like it will be a major hurricane, fortunately. But the water is still abnormally warm all the way up to Cape May, NJ.

3. Yes, we can

Please, you make it sound like the pockclispe is acomin.

5. Not at all

but some time ago I read an article suggesting that New York could not handle a hurricane. Irene is not going to be a major hurricane so that and she would have to deviate from the models to affect some of these states, but my question was more general.

4. I hope this isn't another storm

to come up the Chesapeake, like Isabel. That kind of flooding really causes damage to D.C. and surrounding environs.

6. I lost power for 2 weeks with Isabel! (just a freak thing---4 other

houses on my cul-de-sac had power the next day, only 3 of us lost it for 2 weeks). Still, what a nuisance hurricanes are! Go away, Irene.

7. Already up to "I", ready for hurricane Zenia?
