Post-Hurricane Irene
Aug. 28th, 2011 09:02 amExecutive summary: nothing to see here.
The storm has come & gone. While we still have light showers and overcast skies, the wind is non-existent. Indeed, we barely got more than a few gusts all night and while it rained steadily from 4pm to the present, it was never torrential or excessive.
The electricity flickered a few times, mostly around 2am or so. The satellite tv signal was intermittent but never died completely for more than a few seconds.
We're the exception though: there are large swathes of the greater DC area (mostly the east and south-east of DC) which are without electricity and our county gov't is warning of over 100 intersections without working traffic lights. The transit system is starting back up on a regular Sunday scheduled this morning.
In all, I hope NYC fares as well as we did.
