Quit freaking out about Irene

Unless you live in coastal Carolina, of course. By all means take all of the usual precautions. Gather supplies. Check on loved ones. Secure property. Move to higher ground if you must. It looks like it will be bad where you are but, of course, you've seen this before and you know what to do. Be safe.

But if you live in New York or New England, shut up. If Irene comes near you, it will likely rain and the wind will blow a lot. Bring an umbrella with you if you're outside and stay out of the ocean and you'll be fine. And please don't tell us you know what it's like to be in a major storm because you don't.
