Shakin' Up the East Coast

[Bob Schroeck]

We made it through here with no problems. Power stayed on all night, and as far as we can tell from an inside inspection we took no damage from either wind or water. When the rain outside lets up, which it should within a couple hours, we'll go outside and check the roof and the siding. But if the other houses in the neighborhood are any indication, we should be fine there, too.

And about an hour ago, I heard that the eye had collapsed over New York Harbor and that Irene was now just a tropical storm.
