HURRICANE IRENE

Wow..from the moment we awoke until now at 6 pm, we have been attracted to the weather updates like magnets.  We hunkered down, gathered supplies and prepared our kitchen....all for Irene!!  and what do we get?  a regular, windy, rainy day that was very long!  But, there is something to be said for that!  we have watched the damage Irene created in her path all day....and we are thankful she didn't stay here long.  I was hoping for a great video op as a weather announcer today.....but, sometimes things don't go our way.  We took the tip from the weather man and mom filled the bathtub so we could have a running toilet if we lost power.....seemed like a good idea so, thought we'd share it with all of you!  Your welcome : )
