Storm Thread: Photos, Jokes, Vids, & Panics

[Hookedagain]

Worked last night, got home at 7:10 to no power this morning. Sat on the farmers porch with my son and watched all the neighbors trees swing and sway. After linch we went down to see some waves....NOT!!! Every beach access along the ocean had a cop, national gaurd or a tree in my way. Made it down a private road in Tiverton and watched some waves in the river (not the same). Then hit Fogland and Seapowett. Lots of trees down but thats about it. We got power back at around 7:30.

We had mandatory evac. Sat. at 4:00. Police/Fire came around at 10:00 PM asking people to leave. Lost power 6:00 AM. Around 11:00 the tree came down across the street blocking the road. I cut some branches off so cars can be by.

A little later my neighbor came by and we all went walking around the hood and to the beach. 2nd picture is around the corner (Emma the cutie is my God daughter). People were kayaking up the street.

The 3rd picture is the road I walk to to go to the beach. The road ends at the beach.

Got to the beach. Usually LI sound is as flat as a board but the seas were rough yesterday

Yeah, no wind in Fairhaven at all.

None.



Those aren't 3-4 foot rollers building in a quarter of a mile. Nope.

Sakkonet Light at about 8pm last night

This picture shows what we think of smokers in our town.

Next picture is of St. Mary's in Bport.

Last is off the road around the Marina.

I didn't take any pictures of the skate park where kids were swimming and diving into the water.

I still don't have power but the neighbor's do so I ran an extension cord for the some lights and to keep the refrig. running.

Hope everyone else was as lucky as me.

Irene just prior to making landfall in NC....

I bet they don't think they got hyped...

lots of trees down here in Orleans, still a lot of power outages, some structural damage, even a couple of small fires, from blown transformers.. and such.. not much rain, but we sure got some wind.. I, for one, am convinced that this was a "real storm".....

but, I am sure the conspiracy terrorists will say different.

the ramp and breakwater there were completely underwater. was thinking about walking down past the summer homes to see what it looked like at the point but thought better of it since it was getting dark. could see waves coming up to the road too.
