Irene's Damage to Our Home

We came back early yesterday to see what kind of damage had been done here while we were gone. We had stopped and checked on the house on our way through from Myrtle Beach to PA. We had been hearing about some trees downed and power outages in the area, so we came home to clean up here before Rod had to go to work today, and also for Rod to be on call in case any of his customers called with wind damage.

I don't think we needed to hurry. This was the biggest 'branch' in our yard. I'm pretty sure that Widget could clean this up on his own!!

We did have a lot of leaf debris.

And I don't remember leaving that branch hanging on the fence.

Our little walkway was leaf covered, too. But I don't think we can really complain considering we had an earthquake AND a hurricane come through! Although, there were 2 or 3 more aftershocks of the earthquake just yesterday, so maybe we're in for some more ground shaking this week, too.
