I'm evacuating. My state is in the "extreme" zone for danger. I'm heading to central PA. I won't be online for a few day. I hope when I come home, I'll still have a home.

You need to get going. As far as I can tell, it is reaching parts of PA. too.Worst will be along the coast. My youngest daughter lives in Emmaus, near Allentown PA. Good luck and stay safe.

I'll be leaving tomorrow. My mom lives in middle PA As far as I can tell she is beyond the far reaching bands of the hurricane. If it wasn't for the fact that I have huge trees all around me, I might stay and ride it out but the trees concern me, so off I go! :)

TSC. Your area has mandatory evacuation, I would not stay, so close to the ocean. They are constantly changing theire predictions. Better safe than sorry. Check in later, when will know more. In the meantime stay safe.

I have friends that live in Rumson, NJ. Close to the Ocean and they evacuated.. I also have two sons and theire families living in CT. and they are very worried. Myself, I live in central NH. and I know I will probably loose power and maybe some trees. I dont live in a flood zone and that is the only good thing. Thanks for your prayers Dollybird, we will need them.

Wish I could answer this question, and be honest. I dont live in States, or a country, that has had a hurricane. If I did live in States, Im sure I would evacute. I would be to scared to stay, unless like one Lady, cant recall which State she lives in, on her own, and she refused to evacute, because she is not allowed to take her pet dog. I know I could never leave my pest behind either.

I live about 90 miles from the shore in New Jersey .Most people in the age group of 20- 40 have no idea what is going to hit them . It is like a big twister that hangs around and rips apart what it can . It hangs out for hours dumping rain , flooding everything , flipping houses . This is a cat 3-4 . A twister comes and goes . The advantage of a hurricane is you know it is coming and you can evacuate . Just my thought

I live in Wilmington NC, and 3 days ago Wilmington was predicted to get a direct hit from Irene. (Cat 4) My wife and I were DEFINATLY going to evacuate because we live less than a mile from the Inter-coastal waterway and 2 miles from the ocean.

Now that its been downgraded to a STRONG Tropical storm we're going to ride it out. Winds here could reach 75MPH :(

Moorhead City, 2 hours north of here, will be getting it A LOT worse.

My daughter and family came all the way from Washington State to enroll my grandson in the University in New Haven, CT. When they got there yesterday morning, unpacked and set up his dorm, they were told late afternoon, that the University would be closed till Tuesday. They had to reload all his stuff. They are staying with family in southern part of Ct . I was going to go to CT. today, but canceled my plan. It is a bad time for everone on the East Coast. I am prayind that everone is safe, especially my family.
