Well…Hurricane Irene has passed but not without slapping up the East coast. By the time it started really raining down on us over here in Northeast Pa, the winds were a bit weakened from the initial 90 MPH winds being reported when it began. This carried on from Saturday night into early Sunday morning. The major concern for my area was flooding. It caused some roads to shut down, the first day of school was cancelled and we ended up with about 4 inches of water in the basement. Since flooding has happened in the past, the majority of our belongings were in plastic bin, with the exception of some loose toys, Christmas ornaments, a guitar, an Xbox, 2 TVs, a treadmill , bowflex and some cardboard boxes that are now sitting out with the trash as fans dry out the basement to prevent mold. It could have been much worse, so I am thankful and relieved that my friends and family are all good and the sun is now shining again. Next time, I’ll turn the subpump on…
