Not really, we just like the name…
In a previous post, I said that Hurricane Irene had not left much visible damage other than fallen tree branches. But I forgot to mention just how large one of the branches was. We were lucky in that it fell forward and got lodged in the upper branches of a neighboring tree rather than across the back fence and the power lines and highway adjacent to the fence.

This past Saturday, we had a visit from Hurricane Irene. Fortunately, it was not as bad a expected, but the high winds and rain caused some flooding, minor property damage, extended power outages, and downed a number of trees in our area.
Our neighborhood made it through unscathed and the power outage time was minimal. The only visible evidence that the hurricane had occurred was a number of fallen tree branches and a backyard that turned into “Camp Swampy.”
In one week’s time, we had an earthquake and a hurricane here. What’s next?
