Irene: The Morning After The Night Before
Well, the storm of the century decade news cycle* has come and gone, leaving our little section Near Philadelphia pretty much intact.
In no way minimizing those who had real damage or threat to life, I can write only of my experience. It is still slightly windy and there is a very light rain still falling. And there are some fallen branches. We have perhaps a couple more hours of this.
Our basement is dry, thanks to a major investment we made several years ago, and no trees or wires are down as far as I can see.
Church, however, has been cancelled for today. So it looks as though I face a brief period of pick-up sticks and then can return to Bernina!
Thanks to all who expressed concern for us.

It will indeed be a Bernina Day, Nancy. I think we will also get around to watching The Conspiritors.

Many thanks to the brave & competent first-responders.
Maybe the hype seems excessive in retrospect, but weather prediction is not an exact science and I'd rather take extra steps to avoid serious problems than see people and property damaged because a storm wasn't taken seriously. YMMV, of course.
