How many tweets did Irene generate?

More than a million Twitter messages were posted about Irene. Hurricane Ike, by contrast, will be remembered in only about 10,000 Tweets.

Coming to Florida to Escape a Hurricane.  Who would have thought?

Irene- Please Be Kind!

Best of luck to everyone along the East Coast!   We're praying that Irene provides as Good a Night (and day) as possible!
