Hurricane Irene
This is just a sample of what Irene left us last Saturday night. We were fortunate not to have flooding in our immediate area, just some water in the basement, but we lost about 15 trees or more in the wooded area at the back of our property. The view from our deck is now quite different than it was last week! And when it's all cleaned up, we'll have lots more open space in the yard, which is at best a mixed blessing. But we're fine, and after three nights and two plus days without power, I'm feeling much, much better today!! Had my morning shower, so now I can go grocery shopping to replace most of the stuff I had to throw out of the fridge and freezers, pay bills, run errands, etc. and people won't avoid me because I'm smelly! LOL!!!
Goodnight (and goodbye) IRENE!

It's always a shame when trees go down...but, thank goodness you two are okay and hey....the roof is still on the house....the deck is still there is it? ....whew.... after just having it built....
I would say....get outside and away from all buildings in an earth quake..in case things.. (big things) start falling all around you....
thankfully you guys are ok :)
i am always amazed at what mother nature can do when she wants
Those poor beautiful trees... My heart aches just looking at them unearthed like that...so sad. I hope they'll be recycled and put to good use. I'm so glad you are ok. :)
