Well, folks, we've done our best here to prepare for Irene's arrival in New Jersey. We have water and flashlights and crank radio and flashlights, and board games and books and magazines; we've secured the basement should it flood, and have food and water for kitten as well.
Some of John's family has evacuated to friends' or other family members' homes, and our coastal friends have migrated inland as well. We've encouraged the trees to be strong and to not fall over--we like them just as, and where, they are.
Now the agonizing waiting game as we watch Irene's impact on areas south of us and try to estimate how bad things will get here. We're relying on TV and internet as long as we are able to spare our (power-sucking smart) phones for use once we lose electricity.
And so we wish you all common sense and safety, and we'll check back in on the other side of the storm. Cameras are charged up and ready to go, so I'll hope to post some documentation of our area as best I can.
Lots of love,
Maureen, John, and Hamlet
