Irene
Only have a second before leaving for work....I got through Irene with only minor inconvenience, trees down, internet and cable out for a couple days, but the surrounding area got hit hard. A lot of sad stories.
This is Amsterdam, near where I worked for many years. This building from the 1700's couldn't hold up to the raging waters. A lot of history and property lost, very few lives, fortunately.
I'll write more later.
