Good night Irene

Before the storm

There is always a frenzy of activity before a hurricane comes. And then it comes. You sit tight in your house wondering what will happen, what will be destroyed, will the power go out, etc,etc.
We did get a lot of rain, roads are damaged, bridges are out, trees down. 

I did a quick check around today, and there is less trees down than I expected. The lakes and rivers are full to overflowing. At the height of the storm I was out walking around in shorts and a raincoat and bare feet, tonight you need a light jacket. So it goes.
