I think Irene sucked all the heat and humidity out of the Florida panhandle. Its feels wonderful outside! Even had a slight chill in the air this morning!

Well, the storm spent the night scrubbing the area with gusty winds and relentless rain; my place is none the worse for wear, but when I took a walk this morning I saw a little minor wind damage here and there, and there's still some blocks east of here that are under a few feet of water.

A nice fresh wind out of the west, and tomorrow's going to be a lovely day.

Electricity just got back up for me. This was a fairly uneventful hurricane, just a couple of days without power and some power lines and trees down. It wasn't particularly powerful for a hurricane, but it was very sustained...20 hours of steady 55-75mph winds. There was definitely an upside to having no power for 2 days....no cellphones, no TV, no computers=an excellent chance for some family bonding time.

I used my inverters when the commercial power went out (I lost a lot of things when I lost my home a couple years ago but managed to keep some things in storage); commercial power was back on within four hours, anyway. It rained here but not nearly as much as west and north of me. There were gusts but the wind didn't hit the hardest until last night, although most of the weak branches had already been downed by the earlier gusts (as I told patchz, some branches knocked on the door but I didn't answer right soon).
Currently, the sun is shining bright and I'm preparing to wade out into the mud.

He didn't answer the door cause he thought it was me.
