[Coco] Hurricane Irene

[Aaron Banerjee]

Thanks Aaron (It's really weird for me to call someone else "Aaron"),
    We'll probably lose power and are prepared for it.  There really  
isn't reason to panic.  Actually, the worst problem during a crisis is  
the panickers themselves.  They can be anywhere from disruptive to  
deadly.
