I was without power from 2PM to 8PM. Not too bad, actually. The horror is not knowing how long you'll be without it. I had cranked down the freezer temperature as low as it would go, in preparation for such an event.

No trees down so far. Just branches and lots of leaves. We still have the rest of the night to go through. The rain has eased up but the winds are high and gusting.

I think Irene is going home soon. Phewwwwwwwwwwwwww. She had my house creaking and swaying.

I hope everyone else is doing ok.
