While the storm may not have been as severe as everyone was expecting (or perhaps it was), it was still wonderful amounts of exciting - both in yesterday's preparations and strolling the streets this morning perusing the wreckage left in Irene's wake.

| Boarding up the store windows in the anticipated arrival of Irene. |
 |
| We did lose a tree - not to the uprooting that everyone expected, but from actually snapping off at the base! |
 |
| The tree took out a streetlight on its way down. |
 |
| Mangled streetlight was beheaded from its post. |
 |
| It managed to take out the fence on its way down as well! |
 |
| Masking tape adorned many of the windows... but the sandbags were a special treat ;) |
 |
| The city still sporting a dramatic skyline. |
 |
| Choppy waters and strong winds still raced along the river into early Sunday Afternoon. |
