We had substantial damage her in Rhode Island but nothing like our New England neighbors in the green and gorgeous state of Vermont who will be struggling for some time post the great floods of Irene. They're in my thoughts.<br /><br /><em>Billy</em>- Turns out it wouldn't have done much good to attach myself to a heavy rooted tree. We had several very old trees get pulled up by their roots, taking half of the yards with them!<br /><br /><em>Marylinn</em>- Irene came through as a tropical storm but we had some tremendous funnel winds that caused much damage in the valley. Much more damage than I'd witnessed from other hurricanes!<br /><br /><em>Loach</em>- Well, the first couple of days without power were a fun little adventure. Then, it became a history lesson, recreating the days before electricity, and realizing how hard those folks worked!<br /><br /><em>Robert</em>- Seriously funny! And I can't imagine weathering catastrophic events like a hurricane without the aid of FEMA. I heard some people complaining that the phone service wasn't restored quickly enough (making several cell phone calls to the phone company)! Are you kidding? We had over 20 major transformers come down in this state alone. In the days of instant everything, people forget that it takes a lot of manpower hours to pick up the pieces and put them back together so they're once again suitable for instant everything.<br /><br /><em>JES</em>- When we still have power, I love watching the poncho-covered correspondents fighting off the wind and water by the ocean. I don't know why, but Narraganset is <em>always</em> featured. It is of course, a pretty place. When I was in college, I lived right up from the pier in a rented summer cottage. Now I could barely afford to rent one of those cottages for a week in the summer!<br /><br />And yes, as you mentioned, many couples are married in the Narragansett area--often at the historic Narragansett Towers (my brother included)--and I'm sure they wouldn't want to be ocean side when a hurricane comes roaring through. Although it's pretty cool to see the waves make their way over the sea wall. ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762878187346313358.post-33197196743737239032011-08-29T06:36:32.481-04:002011-08-29T06:36:32.481-04:00[laughing at RtS's "You know you're i...<em>[laughing at RtS's "You know you're in Oregon..." comment]</em> That's good!<br /><br />Counting on hearing that Irene was as anti-climactic for the RI contingent as it was for the NJ ones. As Irene headed north from the Carolinas, it interested me that The Weather Channel had someone stationed in Narragansett for ongoing reports. <br /><br />(One passing little featurette from there was about people whose weddings were scheduled for Saturday, advancing the time so they could get it over with soonest. One couple they talked to had advanced the I-do's all right, but would probably have to postpone the honeymoon... for which they had reservations along the North Carolina coast. Heh.)JEShttp://johnesimpson.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762878187346313358.post-49354523187470559872011-08-28T20:47:45.030-04:002011-08-28T20:47:45.030-04:00There was no FEMA back in 1938.

We are hearing the damage could be extreme which doesn't help my anxiety level. See, this is why I stay away from the TV!<br /><br />Get home safely! Funny, our Canadian visitors weren't even aware that a hurricane was tearing up the coast! They enjoyed their time on the Cape without worry. Once I put them on notice, they realized that they needed to get ahead of the storm as well.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your vacation (even if cut short a bit). :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762878187346313358.post-29849721731326455612011-08-27T23:33:44.536-04:002011-08-27T23:33:44.536-04:00DB- Thanks for the wishes.
