Our power is back on! We got it back last night after three days without it. We are so grateful!! Here are some pictures from Hurricane Irene.

 |
| the next day we were happy to see our outside kitties survived the storm! |
 |
| turns out, the tree was hollow! |

| Tad worked really hard to get the tree cleared from our power lines, porch, and yard |
 |
| we have quite the pile of brush |
 |
|
| this tree came up from the roots at one house in our neighborhood (it fell precisely next to their house) |
 |
| this tree fell a few houses down from us and blocked the road for a day |
 |
| our little neighborhood park lost several large trees |
 |
| most of the streets in town looked like this – broken limbs, trees on lines, huge piles of brush |
We are very thankful for God’s protection on our family during the hurricane! And we are again grateful to have our power back!
edited to add: here are some pictures of Hurricane Irene’s destruction across the East Coast
How did you all fare in the storm?
so glad that no more damage was done!
So glad you guys survived with minimal damage! Thankful. Thought you might like to know that #17 on the link you posted is two miles from my parents’ house, and the one I used to take every day to work when I lived there. That road was completely severed in half by morning. 🙁
I think Natural Disasters is God’s way of letting us know that he is still in control. I’m so glad you all were safe from the storm. I pray for all those lives that have been impacted. Thanks for sharing your photos.
So glad y’all are safe!! Praying for all who have been touched by this!
