It has to be such a relief that she's (Irene) is gone!

We still have relatives in Jersey and it was good to hear that the storm was downgraded by the time it reached you. You lucked out. We, here in SW FL, are often on the receiving end of such storms so I know how hard it can be to go without power for days. Lucky yours came right back on.

Glad you are all safe and sound. In CT river flooding has been problematic for many. The western shoreline did sustain damage as well. We lost power for about 20 hrs. Some folks may be out for a week! Yikes.

Very glad nothing major happened in your neck of the woods. Hope clean up isn't to bad.

Thanks everyone. Aftermath of Irene is doing lots of damage, not in my area but mostly upstate as rivers are cresting and overflowing. Hope we don't get any rain as they would make the problem worse. May in Jersey

Glad you came out of the storm without much damage. Let this be a warning to us all, prepare for emergencies BEFORE they happen. Make up a list (check with Flylady.com for a good one) and have it known to all family members.

NOTE TO HOMEBUYERS....check to see how low or high that special house sits, near running water or low lying fields. I suspect that for some years it's going to be difficult to sell such houses that show signs of being flooded. It might pay to interview insurance agents about the availability of flood insurance for different addresses. Might be VERY interesting to find out such differences.

Makes me wonder how we could find out the level of such houses.

I know you can find out the height of near by air ports..our own is very low, but even in town I'll bet there's a difference in height every few blocks, even if it's only by inches.
