i am happy as hell Irene has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm.
wind gusts are stiff here, but she has not actually arrived yet. let me tell you, i have been worried! the status change helped my frame of mind a lot. i put a new roof on this house 2 years ago, but i am surrounded by very big trees in my yard and backed up to woodland. one beautiful 60-ft. spruce in my back yard would come right through the kitchen if it was uprooted.
edit to add, i'm already having brownouts.
my big spruce looks like this one---->
