I reality Irene was not a Hurricane by the time it hit NC and started up the east coast. It never sustained winds of 74 mph or more, the definition of a hurricane. But it was one hellish tropical storm. I hope the folks' lives get back to normal as soon as possible. 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
