@pfcwar5150 Like Irene?

@ILovestorms ..correct

@pfcwar5150 Irene was a minimal hurricane. I'm not saying Irene didn't do damage, I just think the 1938 one was worse. The thing is, for a hurricane to be a major one hitting New England, it has to be moving, as this one was, very fast. If it's not moving fast, once it gets past Cape Hatteras, NC, cooler water temperatures will make it weaken, but it doesn't have time to weaken if it's moving fast since it hasn't had enough time to absorb the cooler water temperatures.

what about stu ostro and dr. greg forbes, they were featured in this video and are still with TWC

[StephonDWatson]

@BellyLover06 Sure is. Brings back memorable moments when Heather and Marshall was a great team for nearly 10 years.

It's sad to watch this and know that only Heather Tesh remains on TWC of the people shown here.
