Hurricane Irene

Well, it's hurricane season again, and the east coast just got slammed by Hurricane Irene. In her fury, she ripped trees out of the ground, dashed boats against their pylons, destroyed piers, and downed power lines all over the east coast. One of the areas hit particularly hard by the winds was the area in which my mother, your faithful daily blogger, resides. She is completely without power and has been given every indication that she may remain so for up to two weeks. Let us all pray that this is not the case. As the power outage continues, I will be updating you on the situation as she relays it to me.
