The katrina thread is over, and Irene is no Katrina. What sense did that make to move it to a dead child board? No sense. It was brainless.

Me too.  Moving it to the Katrina area seems precipitous.  It's timely now.  Mods, will you move it back to Meet and Greet, please?  I'll do a report to mods too to make the request.  I want to know how our friends are doing!

Yes. Please, mods, put it back where it was.

They are gone for the weekend. I can't believe they did that. That was totally obnoxious.

Yeah, what was the point?

I guess we just keep posting on the Irene thread to keep it near the top of the recently active threads.

Pry, being the goddess that she is, started an Irene Part II thread on Meet and Greet.  It's there now!

I used the "report to mods" link from the last message on the original thread to complain about how stupid it was to move it. Is that now the designated Current Natural Disasters board? If my town has a tornado or if people are dealing with flooding or an earthquake, is it supposed to be posted about there? What foolishness.

Some CHE forum moderator really should merge the posts from the original Irene thread to the front of the thread currently in Meet and Greet and leave the resulting complete discussion in Meet and Greet until its done. Then move it to the Disasters board if you're suddenly inclined to try to neaten the forum up. That moderator should also apologize.

I suggested the Katrina thread because Katrina was so major and so many posts were about it *at that time*. There were also people looking for people on that thread, but that was an exceptional hurricane. But no one has paid any attention to that thread for years.
