Hurricane Irene

Well Hurricane Irene basically came through our area during the night so photo opportunites were limited - although we were outside making sure it stayed out of the house. It came very close and the preventive ditches I dug Friday and Saturday helped divert the water away. I'm going to say we had 8 inches (20 cm) total and now it is just really windy. Several trees were toppled in our neighbors property but we are ok.

We went downtown in the morning - In P's montage is a picture of me. And in my montage is a picture of P! And who knew we had a street named Irene - but I had to include the street sign!

Hope my fellow Eastern US blippers are doing ok.
