HURRICANE IRENE IN DELAWARE

What made this lady unique in my neck of the woods was the water logged ground. Our house is surrounded by very tall pines with shallow roots so that was a concern.

The tornadoes that came along like little attached earings were were just icing on the cake. There were about three that touched down.
There were warning to watch for downed trees.
The roads were closed and peole were asked to stay off of them because of flood situations.
Delaware was well prepared. All the warnings had been heeded. Evacuations proceeded in an orderly fashion and the citizenry settled in for the wait.

The clean up has begun and is going well and we are sorry for our neighbors to the north who have had a much fiercer showing of Irene's temper than we did. There are those who are complaining that all the preparations are in excess but when you consider the power outages and what could and did happen in places like Vermont I have no regrets. There is quite a bit or work to do and there may yet be another storm, maybe tropical depression 12 or 13 just now getting up some stream.
