Actually, she's still a category 3 hurricane as of Tuesday morning.WhOiSyOdAdDy? said:It is no longer a hurricane... now it is only a tropical storm [/B]
That's what they said about Hazel in '54 and she was only a category 2 when she hit North Carolina. Hazel was still able to cause over 80 deaths and $100 million (1954 dollars) in damages in Southern Ontario.MuffinMuncher said:Isabel is still a dangerous catagory 3, not expected to weaken further, hitting the North Carolina barrier islands on Thurs/Friday, then tracking due north through PA and NY into Ontario. By the time it hits Toronto, it will be a really windy rainstorm, nothing more.

Thanks for the dis,this one we will send right up through carolina.New York to Toronto,for your enjoyment.8shack said:I find it funny how some Americans wonder in amazement how we could live where it's so cold, while they live in areas that annually have hurricanes (S/E) and floods (along the Mississppi), might fall into the ocean or at least have major earthquakes (Calif) or have dozens of tornadoes a year (Texas/Oklah) and appear to think nothing of it. Granted, we may have the odd tremor or quick twister but they're much more frequent and severe in the U.S.
If I get cold, well I can always dress a little warmer, but at least my house won't float away or be blown up to Oz. My life will not be in danger as they would be with those other occurrances as long as I dress properly.
Editor's note: This is in no way meant to bash or make fun of Americans. I just wanted to point out something I've heard many Americans say over the years and thought was interesting if you look at things from different perspectives.
