Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Wow. Irene just came through Connecticut. It didn't seem like it was that bad but there was alot of damage in the town I work for. Massive flooding along with trees and wires down all over. Good thing, no injuries or fatalities. Also been working 32 hours straight. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Hope everyone stayed safe

Help is on the way folks! My dad works for Duke Energy. He and a ton of Duke workers are heading out tomorrow morning for about 2 weeks to help restore power :tu

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Still continuing my prayers for everyone..I'm glad to hear too that is well.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

I'm glad to see you paid NO ATTENTION to orders to stay safely away from potential danger, Chris. :r

As for me, my worst problem was that the TV stations pre-empted programming for Irene coverage 24/7 all weekend, so I had to watch DVDs. My lights flickered a time or three, and that's it. Madison is in the "shadow" of the Watchungs, giving us some shelter from nor'easter winds, and is not prone to flooding. Other than that, the biggest hassle was dealing with the crowds in town Sunday afternoon and evening. Many people surrounding us lost power, which we didn't (would you believe, we have our "own" power company, sort of?), so they flocked here to grab lunch and dinner. Typical waits for a table was an hour.

Good thing I don't eat out. Uhhh, I mean, in restaurants that is. :D

Can't speak for CT, but it looks like a typical NJ backroad to me, brother. :r

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

I live in Philly and from 10-2 am I sat on my porch smoking. First smoke was a CAO Vision that I had for a long while that was actually "not that good". The second smoke shall remain nameless......

Didn't get to wet with the awning and my corner position but I put the wind proof torch through its paces.

Re: Hurricane Irene
 

Well that blew. Not too much water damage in Richmond, but tons of trees down, like at one of my employee's houses:

Survived my fifth named hurricane (including Hugo in Charleston & Andrew in New Orleans,) so I'm thankful. But with a 5.8 earthquake last Tuesday, a Cat 1 hurricane on Saturday, I'm looking out for the locusts this week.
