Hurricane Irene

A non-picture posting day today.  I did take the camera out to take some pictures of the sky.  The rain showers started around 11am and steadily rained until Irene's fury started around 7pm.  The whole sky was just gray.  Hubby and I left the house around 3pm to make a quick run to our local grocers for some comfort food.  There was hardly anyone on the roads.  Everyone was hunkered down in their homes.

The local news said the main part of Irene would be hovering over us from 7pm until 3am.  We got pounded with heavy winds and rain.  It didn't feel or sound as bad as what we experienced with Hurricane Isabel in 2003.  Isabel released a fury that shock the inside of our house.  Back then, a neighbor's old oak tree fell and missed our house by a few inches.

I think we're going to be fine.
