Hurricane Irene - some before & after's

Before



After (sleeping)




Before

Chris was leveling a refrigerator at our 3 family that we bought in Bristol. It leveled him...


Only 1 1/2 hours in the emergency room - Saturday night before Irene



After (and a serious black eye the next day)


Before



After


Yes, this is #2 sailboat ruined in 2 years. We had the boat hauled - insurance will pay. But it didn't do us any good. 60 foot cow of a sailboat fell over onto us - of course. Not sure how? We were in the middle of about 50 boats. Our mast is broken:


Still assessing damage because they have to get a 100 ton crane to lift that behemoth off us.


No more sailing for 2011. 2012 ?





Other Irene marks:


Mostly just some large tree limbs & leaves in our yard.


A little ways down the road: made getting to the highway interesting. This was one of many trees on powerlines.

The harbor - the big storm surge at high tide caused most of the damage.


There were quite a few of these around too


People did their best to prepare. It wasn't the biggest storm, but it still did a lot of damage




Our favorite ice cream place boarded up for a while



Looks like we'll be doing more camping & hot rodding this fall, since sailing is out. Polo on Saturdays too!
