Goodbye, Irene

Hurricane Irene (pictured above) has come and gone and, as far as I can tell, everybody in our area survived. Considering it was our first hurricane, our weather last night was pretty uneventful. We did have quite a bit of rain from about 7 pm last night until early this afternoon, along with some wind. Though we haven't actually been outside today, there aren't any broken tree branches that we can see and the wind was never strong enough to knock anything over or tear off siding or shingles. It is currently 73 and sunny and tomorrow it is supposed to be 78 with a 0% chance of rain, which should be a nice change of pace!
