I have to say that I was quite disappointed in Hurricane Irene. I was all ready to be hunkered down in my house with bowls of popcorn and loads of old movies. But after an hour or so of cleaning my house, something that I've been avoiding for weeks now, I realized how incredibly bored I was and went out for lunch.
It was mostly light rain and wind until about some time after I went to bed. I was seriously hoping for lightning or something that would make me glad I stayed home most of the day.
The negative aspect of this hurricane was that our vacation place in NC seems to be cut-off from the mainland. (Every year, the dads rent a place on the Outer Banks for the week after Labor Day.) I've already had a major vacation this year so I really shouldn't complain. But I was so looking forward to some relaxing beach time. It's all up in the air right now, but hopefully it all works out.
They under-predicted the strength, but correctly predicted the path. I wonder how Mommom would have felt.
