I'm taking it seriously.

Hurricane Irene turned out to be less severe than the media hype, but even so dumped enough rain to cause flooding and I had 6" of water in the ground floor of my Jersey City rowhouse. No living space on the ground floor, but I do have some nice garage facilities where I keep tools, P-car, etc.

I'll be spending part of my weekend erecting sandbag dykes to try to keep water out of my garage and workshop space. Will be moving the cars to a high and dry location.
