Township had residents in a low lying area evacuate and suggested that anyone who has had flooding in the past to evacuate also. We did lose power on and off around midnight on Sat. but Irene just left some small branches and lots of leaves on the ground in our area. We lost our cable TV, internet and phone for all of Sunday until about 3 am Monday morning. Boy did I miss my contact with the outside world. Just hope everyone else had as few problems as we did.

Glad to hear that everything is ok with you and your family. I'm wondering how Krystana made out during the storm. She mentioned that she was not sure if anything would be left when she got back. Has anyone heard anything?

glad you made it okay. Irene flooding is all over the news in michigan. they're saying Vt. is bad. saw a lady on fox news this morning that said she came in from up state N.Y. and had to take 4 detours to get to N.Y. city. I WAS planning on going to bennington Vt. the 2nd week in sept. May not now.
