Our power is back on! We got it back last night after three days without it. We are so grateful!! Here are some pictures from Hurricane Irene.

| our neighbors across the street |
| the tree that fell on our power lines/back porch |
| the view of the backyard during the storm after our tree fell |
| the next day we were happy to see our outside kitties survived the storm! |
| turns out, the tree was hollow! |
| Tad worked really hard to get the tree cleared from our power lines, porch, and yard |
| we have quite the pile of brush |
| this tree came up from the roots at one house in our neighborhood (it fell precisely next to their house) |
| this tree fell a few houses down from us and blocked the road for a day |
| our little neighborhood park lost several large trees |
| most of the streets in town looked like this – broken limbs, trees on lines, huge piles of brush |
We are very thankful for God’s protection on our family during the hurricane! And we are again grateful to have our power back!
edited to add: here are some pictures of Hurricane Irene’s destruction across the East Coast
How did you all fare in the storm?
