We are counting our blessings this morning as we took our daily walk around the neighborhood! Many, many downed trees. (Trees have shallow roots here because this part of USA gets lots more moisture than other parts.) Also, neighborhood run off basins that collect excess rain were not draining properly due to excess dirt mixed with water. Sadly, wet carpeting was piled at curbside in front of many homes--obviously many basements flooded. Household drainage pipes were spewing water into street gutters.
We were only without power 11 hours. The news is saying Irene caused worst floods in 100 years!
Thank you, Betsy, for t-shirt title!
