nobody loves Irene !!!
Willem,
Thanks for your expression of concern. I live in New Jersey which was pretty severely impacted. I'm in western Massachusetts right now at the house my father lived in until he passed away (mine now). I've been told by friends that there are two trees lying on the side of my house in New Jersey and the electrical power is off. This part of western Massachusetts didn't have as much tree damage but the flooding is horrendous and some bridges are out. I can't go home right away because many roads are closed. It's a bit of a mess. Best wishes to our friends north of here for their safety as Irene dissipates.
Anyone remember these lyrics from the musical My Fair Lady?
"In Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen...."
I'm ready to move to one of those places!

Well Irene is over for me as far as the weather, but I don't have any power and they don't expect to have it up for several days. I guess that is OK because on my way to work today I saw two houses completely destroyed by HUGE trees that were just up rooted.
Unfortunately I can't do much TG online at work so I hope several days means I have power tonight when I get home.

I don't regard myself as a lucky person - until yesterday. My neighbors all took heavy damage, and my house is nearly the only with power for miles. My house is full of my daughter's friends whose houses are under water. The extent of my damage is a yard full of leaves and no cable for 30 hours. Suddenly I feel lucky.
I hope Bob and Tom and all TG'ers affected by the storm fare well. Willem, thank you for your concern, my friend.
