update
My family and I are okay. It's really windy here, but the rain has stopped, and it's actually kind of nice out.
We have power but no internet - I'm stealing my mother's USB modem right now to post an update, but until it comes back I'll only be around on and off. All in all, our major upset was a tree coming down in the forest behind our house. We were lucky - a house burned down in the next town over because the transformer blew and lit it up, and the fire truck watched helplessly from a few blocks away, unable to get through the flooded streets to put the fire out.
In the pouring rain.
So, yeah, we're okay here. I'm hoping everyone else weathered the storm as well as we did - if you were in Irene's path, please let me know that you made it through.
