Hurricane Irene

So Hurricane Irene came and went and we survived! Actually, more than survived. Truthfully it was a little anti-climactic.
We stocked the shelves with food and water. Gathered all our flashlights and emergency supplies and hunkered down. We watched the news and waited. The worst of it was supposed hit us early this morning around 1am.
We lost power for just a few hours yesterday evening and there were a few big gusts of wind last night that rattled the windows enough to wake me up. But other than that we didn't have any other problems. No trees down in the neighborhood, no flooding, and no extended loss of power.
I know there are a lot of areas closer to the coast where there is significant damage. Luckily we live far enough inland where it wasn't too bad for us.
They said on the news that it's the first time in history an area has been hit by an earthquake and a hurricane in the same week. Sheesh! It makes you wonder what we're doing wrong out here! :)
