Hurricane Irene

Glad that you're safe Birdy! Yeah, a good storm now and then is good for everyone. I do hope that you get power back soon and you don't lose the fridge or anything.

Not too much damage here. It's funny watching these weathermen after being on the air for 2 days straight. I watched one guy mistakenly say "***** surge", what was he thinking? It reminded me about the time when Pete Bouchard told everyone what a big guy he was. lol! For those of you that didn't see this, enjoy:

Cant believe he pulled that one off... HaHa.

Looked like southern VT took a bit of water on but up here (north central) Irene pretty much wussed out. We'll have this kind of wind and water come this Janurary. Only it'll be 20 below at the same time.

That's because you had it in the refrigerator, dork-face.

So yea, the hurricane was pretty weak from what I hear. Unfortunately, there actually was damage to the front of the truck from that piece of metal. It slapped the top and flopped around for a minute, scraped up the front end, and then fell over. Gonna be about $300 in damage. $h!t happens I suppose. The lady friend says it'll be fixed b4 I get home, tho.

I thought the whole thing was over exaggerated, then...

We had a dam give out way up in the mountains and sent a flood surge down a local river, this was the result. First one is the log jam on a main road bridge. the rest is a property I own on further down that river, 3" of mud in the driveway and 3 feet of water in the basement, luckily it was unfinished. We had a pump in the basement but when the power went out it was useless. This was out 2nd "100 year flood" this year. Im going to install a standby generator next week.











We actually did a lot better then ppl down the river. there were many homes that were completely lost. Makes you realize whats really important in life.

Ducati, Looks like you were in the process of finishing the basement? Glad your alright. Up state NY and VT got slammed with rain, after Irene turned into a tropical storm.



Here is an example of what not to do after a storm. Why would this ******** bring his 7 and 9 year old daughters out on a flooded river?

Damn duc, that's a lot of water. Looks about the same as when we flooded up here this spring. Was a 300 year flood, as in worst in 300 years.

Mother nature is gettin pissed this year, gotta watch out
