Default Re: Hurricane Isabel

I know it is kinda late to reply to this, and that I haven't posted in ages, but Isable hit Virginia beach and North Carolina pretty hard. Only 5% of the south eastern coast of Virginia had power...I was one of those lucky 5%. There were tons of power lines down and whatnot. The people who didn't have power didn't have it for 5-6 days. We were out of school from wednesday to the following thursday, and that was only a half day. So ya, I'd agree with local forcasters and say it was the strongest storm that has hit Virginia Beach in around a decade.

As I said, my family was one of the lucky ones. There was 8 of us and two dogs in the house, and we didn't lose power, cable, or phone once like the rest of the city did. I think we would have gone crazy if we would have lost power for nearly a week. Although, unfortunately a huge tree fell on our van, but the van only ha d a little dent. Besides the tree, a bunch of branches, 2 shutters, and 1-2 shingles, we were safe. As we rode around Virginia Beach afterwards..it was pretty damaged. So, in my opinion, I don't think it was any less than what forecasters said it was, but that's because I live right on the southern coast about 30 minutes from North Carolina.
