Hurricane Irene, and school

[checkers65477]

It came and went, and wasn't bad at all here.  Gusty winds and some rain, but not much else.  Unfortunately, the eastern part of the state suffered much damage, including coastal roads washed out, flooding, and a lot of wind damage.  Here is a photo of some of the worst road damage.  This is near Hatteras Lighthouse, where I visited a few years ago.

But it could have been much, much worse.

School is going well.  It's super-busy, but classes started coming today and it was nice.
