I've had numerous calls from friends along the Mid Atlantic and SNE this morning. Major tree damage and power outages all along the I-95 corridor and structural damage as well in many areas.

Economic Impact of Irene

If Irene cost $20 to 40 billion, that would be one of the most costliest on record. No surprise considering it hit a populated area. It shows it just takes one. This season is one of the costliest on record besides 2005, 2008, and 1992.

from a section on Houston:
Hottest day in Houston's history
The mercury hit 109°F (42.8°C) yesterday at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, tying September 4, 2000 as the hottest day in the city's history. Yesterday was the also the hottest August day on record in Houston, besting the 108°F reading of August 18, 1909. This year, Houston has set its record for all-time hottest temperature, most 100° days in a year (36, old record was 32, and 4 is normal), and most consecutive 100° days (24, old record was 14.) Weather records in Houston go back to 1889. Houston needs 20.18" of rain to get to normal levels of rainfall for the year. Today's high is predicted to be 107°F in Houston, so yesterday's record may be in danger of being broken today. By the end of the week, Houston is expected to cool down below 100°, and a weather pattern conducive for bringing summer rains will move in.
