This storm is as large as the state of CA. The Outer Banks, NC is gonna get hit hard.

This was one of the best reader comments on cnn.com about Earl.

"Dang it, my Hurricane repellent spray is not working...Does anybody speak Japanese? Call Tokyo, this is a job for Godzilla.. He can blast the hurricane with his fire breath...I heard he was on the way, but he sprained an ankle tripping over an Oil Rig in the Gulf..."

That comment's pretty damn good

My girlfriend told me about this hurricane this morning. I live in Virginia and i say bring the rain - this hot weather is a pain in the ass.

BTW... skateboarding in a hurricane? I THINK YES.

neat! im in VA too. living in fredericksburg.

where are you at amongst the commonwealth?

Another VA collector? SWEET as far as I know, we're a rare breed. I was born and raised in Woodbridge. Tomorrow I'm heading out to Lexington to start school though! I've actually been to Fredericksburg a ton - Spaghetti Project is (or WAS) there. I had a piece in their civil war show if you managed to go to that.
