Irene has passed and the shacks have suffered little damage. We were worried about SUNSHINE on the hard in Marathon, but Irene's path was well to the east of the Keys.
Here at home, Irene made her second landfall at Little Egg Inlet, only about five miles from the shacks here in West Creek, NJ. We spent two days prior to her arrival preparing the house and yard. The effort paid off as we had very little damage.
On Friday, August 26, 2011, Two days before Irene was to arrive, we evacuated to Sandi's home in Medford. We took both vehicles and the 5er with us. We went back home on Monday, August 29, 2011. We had very little damage and minimal debris to clean up. Many others were not as fortunate. All in all, it was an enjoyable evacuation. Thanks for your hospitality Sandi and Matt!
We only have eight days until we depart on our R/V tour of the Rocky Mountain vicinity National Parks.
