the only people that have anything to worry about would be those in low-lying coastal areas, especially in the southern path of the storm. as it moves up the coast it'll get weaker but it'll still be a wicked ass storm. if you're in one of those areas, get an axe. just do it. and don't get cocky when the front end of the storm blows through and you're ok...with katrina, the shit hit the fan for the city and my house just north of new orleans. thats what made the levees break and what blew 3 trees onto my house so yeah
