Here is a video I found from a group of storm chasers that I follow online. This is a documentary of them filming the effects of Irene in Long Island NY, I think they did a really nice job of conveying the dangers of the flooding and their video shows a tree falling on wires. The worst thing to do is to underestimate the danger of a storm, you really need to be prepared for something like this.
For new readers, you can catch up with my earlier posts with photos regarding Irene and it's effects in our area here; http://climatedriver.blogspot.com/search?q=Irene
