The size of Irene coupled with possible astronomical high tide could be epic to say the least. The one thing that bothers me the most is the amount of people that won't take this serious. There is no way possible to evacuate the masses in time that live in flood prone areas. If this does play out and happens the coastal toll will be beyond words.

As happened with Ike in the coast of Texas. People were fooled with the storm being only a cat 2. The winds don't kill people like storm surge does. When Irene makes her presence there will not be time for people to leave. The amount of traffic on the roads trapped with no one able to respond to there needs. The scenario after the storm departs are mind boggling to say the least.

This could be the first test of a large scale human nature without power and water. This being in a Urban area could lead to many unforeseen beyond words situations. This event is not etched in stone and I pray it doesn't happen. If it does there are no words.
