Well, we survived Irene with only a few fallen tree limbs and several roof shingles splayed across our front yard. Our neighbors had a tree fall on their car and another neighbor had two giant trees miss their house by only a few feet. They said it was like an atomic bomb went off...the noise was deafening. The wind howled all night, but we made the best of it as my neighbors hosted a hurricane party!
Wish I could upload pictures, however I'm on the iPad as power is out here. They said that power won't be restored for several days so we are playing board games, walking the neighborhood and cleaning up the yard. It actually is very pretty outside right now. Unfortunately, we have no water because we are on a well, so no showers for us!

So thankful the storm has passed and you are all safe. Sorry for the damage, but I know it could have been so much worse. Hope the power is back on soon. Hugs, Marty
So glad you are safe. The party idea does sound kind of fun. Maybe a survival party is in order. :) As for the no showers issue all I can say is another layer of deodorant and dry shampoo. :)
Hugs and good thoughts,

I'm so glad to hear you are alright! I know it will be a mess to clean up but at least you are safe! Take care! HUGS!!! ♥♥♥
my parents lost two trees and one just missed chris' car! we just got power back on an hour ago and were shocked to have it so soon. so maybe you will get it sooner!
So happy to hear you made it through with no major problems. Hope you get your power back soon ~
Happy to hear everyone's safe. Without power, you'll be amazed at how much you'll get done around the house. :)
Really glad to hear you're okay! What an ordeal for you!! I have another online friend living in VA that had a hurricane party too. She had a tree fall onto her roof, but they're all okay.
So glad you were able to post and let us know that you and your family is safe. I hope the electricity will be restored sooner than expected!
