Hurricane Irene

I'd been hearing about the massive storm that was headed our way for about a week...


We were told at work to make sure we had TONS of batteries, lots of water and canned goods. And so we did. 


But, all we got was rain. A lot of rain, mind you. But just rain. 


It's been hard to imagine all the damage, injuries and deaths that happened further south or further east. Mostly because... we had more tree damage in a regular thunderstorm back in July.

This was all the collateral from the storm in our neck of the woods... granted, it was windy enough that I had to close the umbrella to keep it from blowing away.
