We got through the storm safe and sound. We didn't lose power, no major flooding (just our leech field, but that always floods) and the same thing goes for most of my family.
For the past few days I have found it to be really frustrating that people are commenting that Irene was lame and over hyped. It was a strong hurricane inching up the coast and then thankfully when it got here it sped way up. The ground speed nearly doubled. We were very fortunate. The town I grew up in is completely under water this morning. I'm very fortunate that I live about 5 miles west of there now and therefore away from the river and a bit up into the Shawangunk Mountains.
I'm asking for your thoughts and prayers for those who are continuing to be affected by the flooding that came along with this storm.
