It's normal for the whole area that is under the effects of the hurricane to be under a tornado watch, which means the conditions are right for tornadoes to form, because the strong storms associated with hurricanes. You don't need to be too worried until you get a tornado warning in your area, which means that there is a tornado about to touchdown or already on the ground.

Does it really annoy anyone else when you read through and all these people are playing down the danger of the hurricane since it's only a category 2, yet now at least 5 people have died because of it.

22:16 EST Live from Upper West Side Manhattan + Show Spoiler +Ladies and gentlemen, we have lightning. Is that supposed to be typical of a hurricane or is this just some random summer thunderstorm that happens to be in Irene's path?

What wrong thread? A kid, along with ~7 or so other people, have already died from Irene in North Carolina and Virginia so far. 2 kayakers had to be rescued by the NYPD in New York's water and were promptly issued legal summons for the reckless act.
Tornado watches have been issued by the NWS for all of NYC and Long Island, along with Westchester and Rockland Counties.

Find it fascinating that despite the Hurricane the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in D.C. is still being guarded.

With all the coverage this storm has gotten, you'd think it was a category 6 or something. I guess its bad, though, for yall on the east coast. Don't get too many of these coming your way, and you don't have to deal with it as often. Good luck, and most of all, stay safe.

Since we haven't had a hurricane for a long time a lot of people are overreacting... I'm not saying that it should just be ignored... and of course there were already a few fatalities, but it's not a huge deal for people who make a minimal effort to be prepared.
The unfortunate thing is, after a few more hurricanes like this with everyone overreacting one serious one will come along that lots of people will ignore and there will be a ton of unnecessary deaths.

I have never noticed lightning in any of the hurricanes/tropical storms I have been through. I would suspect that on the outer edge of the storm, perhaps some lighting could form, but in the inner most part I hear it is very rare to see lighting.

In all the hurricanes I have been in there has been lightening, even when I was in one of the worst parts of the storm.
