Luckily we weren't in the worst of Hurricane Irene, but we definitely still felt its effects. All train and bus services were cancelled for the day, as well as our church services, in anticipation of her arrival. I was fairly underwhelmed for most of the morning with what seemed like no more than a regular rain storm, but then things got a little crazy for a good twenty minutes or so, and I felt like Irene had finally come knocking.
Here is Reeve showing you a bin in our backyard, which had been completely empty prior to the storm!
We were very fortunate to have escaped any damage from Irene, and even maintained power (while many of our close friends were without power for several days!) Mostly there were downed trees, branches, and power lines around the neighborhood as evidence of her visit.
We felt very blessed to not have any damage or even inconvenience ourselves, and I have once again been impressed by the power of Mother Nature.
And I have to say, with the humidity she brought, Irene is a pretty good hair stylist. =)

It is great that IRENE only grazed by your house...but the picture of Brian and the girls surveying the toppled brances will have to be framed in your next home next to the picture of them walking down Margaret Road after the blizzard. Oh, the perils of living where there is "actual weather."
