[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 456283, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=4][COLOR=#000080]I know those in the mid-to-northeast are still getting hammered, but those of us in the southeast are just getting our first glimpses of the damage from Irene. First thing I saw was a tree down in my yard! It was standing when I went to bed at midnight, but this morning it's down. Fortunately it fell away from the house and the neighbors house, but went towards the street and blocked her driveway. There are branches, leaves, and debris everywhere! I think you've heard it said before, but I live in an urban forest and 85% of our city is without power. Miraculously, we still have power. This is a first because we loose power with minor thunderstorms. My cell is another story. Emergency calls only. I got some text messages over night, but can't respond or make calls - emergency calls only. If you were watching CNN (or other national news) you will have seen that because of the way this storm put together, the interior of Virginia got hit hard with wind and rain. We had sustained winds of upward of 71 MPH in the early/mid evening. Most of the day we were at sustained 35-57! It was unexpected. So this week it was an earthquake centered 30 minutes away followed by Irene. An interesting end to the summer. I hope, as this storm continues its path north, that our CD family stays safe and remains hunkered down. Sharon[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
