Lisa Dunham, REALTOR® in Alexandria VA, breaks down the hurricane categories and the damage it causes and what to expect. Right now, Hurricane Irene is a category 1 and hopefully will not go higher.
Via Lisa Dunham, REALTOR®, MBA, CDPE, ABR, Alexandria VA Real Estate, Short Sales (Allison James Estates & Homes):
What To Expect From Hurricane Categories 1-5 
 
Hurricanes are classified into 5 categories.  Each category is determined by its wind speed, central pressure, and the potential for damages.  Hurricane categories 1 and 2 are considered dangerous, but are not nearly as severe as categories 3, 4 and 5.  … (10 comments)

Mayor Bloomberg, You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself! - 08/27/11 01:58 PM
Mayor Bloomberg, You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself!
I am disgusted, appalled, disappointed, and most of all, angry at you Mayor Bloomberg!
Mayor Bloomberg is not inviting the first responder's to the upcoming ceremony on 9/11/2011. Why you ask? Space constraints. The families of the victims will and should be there. But, two Presidents and many other politicians will be there. Why should they be? Once again a 9/11 memorial is being used as a political photo-op arena which is self-serving. The first responders risked their lives to help others and many died as well. Where were all the politicians then?  … (12 comments)

Could Hurricane Irene Bring Families Together? - 08/27/11 07:57 AM
Could Hurricane Irene Bring Families Together?
Let's face it, we all have busy lives. A lot of families do not even eat dinner together on a daily basis.
Then we have distractions like texting, email, video games and facebook.
Since Hurricane Irene is making her way up the Eastern seaboard, we will most likely lose power for a few days. We may not have cell phones either for that time. That remains to be seen.
We all know if the kids can't play their video games there will be hell to pay. My solution? Whip out and dust off those board … (7 comments)

Earthquake In Virginia 8/23/11 Felt on Long Island to Massachusetts
Here I am working from home when I thought my dog was scratching herself and I felt my table move. When I looked around and saw she was nowhere near me, I didn't think anything of it.
Then my husband called and says: "did you feel that?" Then I realized I wasn't losing my mind. I told him what I felt. It wasn't a shaking motion. It was more like, bump, bump, bump, bump to me.
I have to say I feel a little on edge. I sent a mass email … (15 comments)

ForSaleBYOwner.com Founder Sells Home- Using a Broker - 08/04/11 06:19 AM
A perfect example as to why For Sale by Owner doesn't work at least 90% of the time. And us real estate agents get paid for what we know and our knowledge of the local markets.
