I have family and friends on long island and about 1/4 of the southern coastline has been evacuated for this reason... | ||

If the forecasts hold, it should be a tropical storm by the time the eye passes over New York state. Updated the OP with a new intro, edits to the text, and a replacement image from NOAA. Eileen is a prettier name, btw, than Irene imo. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LMZ2V.png) For those worried about MLG players, streams etc. It should be fine, the storm looks like it will only touch Raleigh.  EDIT: The first circle is Cat 1 winds, the second is "tropical storm" levels. | ||

The shelves being empty is completely normal. No, every shelf containing non-perishable food and water being empty is not completely normal... People running across the aisle with 30 cereal boxes in their cart is not normal. There's no reason to go overboard with shopping. The stores are going to be open again on Monday and it'll be back to business as usual. Then again, what IS normal here is peoples' tendency to overreact every single time bad news hits so I suppose I'm not really surprised. | ||

Barely anyone is listening, though... Most people I know are just staying in their homes. Honestly it's really unnecessary, I wouldn't go if I didn't already promise to stay with someone else :| | ||
