Goodbye, Irene

I hope everyone is well following Irene. I've heard of leaking basements, a leaking roof, and power outages, but nearly the amount expected. Where I am, across from the Waterworks behind the museum, the river overflowed slightly between the Waterworks and boathouse row. Old tree trunks and debris were carried along in the rapids. I look outside now and can tell it has already dropped a couple of feet.
