Hurricane Irene

Well, that was a useless 18 hour overnight shift in the Incident Command Center.  Most overrated Cat 1 cane in Maryland EVAH.

It is kind of windy here.

I live right on the edge of the Hudson, and this has been quite a yawner so far.  From my window, I saw a pier getting partially submerged earlier this morning, but the water has receeded since then.  However, other parts of Jersey City are reported to be flooded, and I don't feel like venturing out to confirm that for myself.

I'm glad Irene continues to take it easy on you guys up north. Like when it passed PR, it rained a lot, some power outages, not much else. Mom lost some fruit and a whole banana plant  . And the outside cat was inside.

Oh the humanity!

Some downed trees and pwoer lines around here. I understand there are wide scale power outages elsewhere about Mass and NH.  But its not really doing anything.

They paying you, right. Or is that voluteer work?

Every now and then, I have to kind of justify the salary.

In eastern Massachusetts, south Boston, we had heavy winds and rain. Rain has slowed but winds are still heavy. Not too bad. Just lots of small branches and tree leaves down on the lawn. I lost power for about two hours.

I have a good sized veggie garden out back. Some of my remaining corn stalks were blown over, but I had already harvested most of the corn over the last couple of weeks. Got one nice corn cob off one of the downed stalks though. Some minor damage on the tomato plants, and my pole beans seem to be mostly ok. I do have two thick rows of bushes on three sides of the garden, so they must be giving some wind break to the garden.

The good news is that it seems like I will win a $20 bet with a co-worker.  The bad news is that I bet that we would be coming to work on Monday.

I heard that some of the outages might last a week or more. Yay for efficiency.

I was hoping not to have to, though the more realistic, cynical side of me said nothing even remotely bad would happen.

Damn.  That's some serious shit.

I wonder when the MTA will be functioning again.
