We're all clear here in Virginia Beach. Power is now restored, we were only without it for 24 hours. Only minor damage...missing a dozen roof shingles. We dodged a bullet. Hope everyone else gets off as lightly as us.

 

Now, back to blogging.

Good to hear that you're safe Hunter!

We had a brown-out or two but the power stayed on for the most part.  Lots of branches and leaves, but otherwise no worse for wear.  We hosted some friends who live a town away and found out their neighborhood took on a few feet of surge water (heard a story of one person's car floating away).  It certainly could have been lots worse!

It seems like Irene was much more tame than the forecasters predicted.

A lot of people in New Jersey lost power, and thankfully, we weren't among them (although I have many friends and family members that are). We actually have people coming to our apartment today to take showers and store food.

Our church flooded, and there are cities here which are practically underwater - the residents are trapped for now.

I know it must be tough with no power. Of course, not dealing with injuries is the best outcome, no matter what happens to the power or anything else.

We are already getting tornadoes up here, and people are losing power! I can't believe how huge this storm is. It's affecting at least 10 states (and DC) at the same time!!!

We're still waiting to see how bad it hits us in New Jersey.

Yeah, it's a strange thing to have to deal with a full-on hurricane or tropical storm.  We're just outside NYC and technically in an evacuation area. We're going to finalize our plans soon, whether to stay or go.

Stay safe everyone!

You're right Hunter, you're in very good hands, kind of an unfair advantage, huh? Wink
