Hurricane Irene

Was that a Hurricane or just torrential downpour?
I really didn't expect much when hearing of it all on the news in the anticipation of it reaching us, because to me it just felt like when meteorologists report crazy snowstorms where nothing actually falls but a flurry.

Although there was tons of wind and rain, it didn't really seem to be much of a Hurricane.  For what was reported on the TV, it again seemed to be another one of those situations where there was extreme and initial excitement all around, but somewhat of a disappointment to follow.

Many folks are struggling with water in their homes, flooding in their streets, businesses may struggle due to the impact, but it all remains that this seems to be the same as any other major rainstorm that we may have had throughout the year, just with some crazy winds reaching about 100mph. 

And if you are reading this and you were in the path of this Hurricane, I do hope that you are doing well and that you didn't incur too much damage within your home.

It's a blessing that with the prediction of this being a direct impact to the East coast, we didn't really have any major casualties. 

2011 has brought some crazy things through here, we will see what may be in store for the remainder of the year.
