Well, she blew by. We were up on the roof somewhere in the wee hours, maybe sometime after 3, as something was rolling around and I thought a satellite dish had worked itself loose. A gust must have blown whatever it was off before I got up there with a flashlight. I found nothing.
Now, dry air, tugging wind, a collapsed New Dawn rose, but otherwise it is all over. We have a bathful of clean water. Maybe I'll snorkel in it.
We will go out and have a look. Good mushroom weather.
Good attitude there, Marie.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read you are all safe, and the damage is minimal. Our turn now in Boston. The storm seems weakened but in 25 years here I have never seen wind like this, a strong gale in one direction, then the next moment, equally strong in the opposite direction. Overall not too bad so far.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone's safe and happy. All I can say is whew. And break out the wine and heirlooms ... subways still closed till tomorrow noon, they're saying. Revel on!
ReplyDeleteBut a whole new look for the terrace! I thought of shrooms too, but will wait a few days. Staten Island??
ReplyDeleteGlad all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteExcellent mushroom weather. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you didnt have much damage....
ReplyDeleteOh, thank goodness! I was worried for your plants. And, you know, for you. But mostly the plants. ;)

ReplyDeleteRachel - but I like snorkeling :-)
ReplyDeleteJohn - how was your rain,then? VT doesn't look too good.
revel gardener - heirlooms tomorrow. Wobbly tuna mousse tonight!
Frank - Yes, Staten Island. When? Hoping for some chickens...hmmm.
Monica, thanks very much.
Rob - I am hoping so. From what others are posting the ground is making little popping noises as they break the surface.
Carol - thanks, no, nothing for us, we were lucky.
Tzipporah - your concern for the plants is touching :-)Tomorrow, the big rearrange...some heavy lifting.
Looks like the roof made it without any major problems. Thank goodness.
ReplyDeletePHEW. Glad all safe and sound :)
ReplyDeleteBly julle is sonder ergerlike skade. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy to listen you're safe and sound. Veggies will grow back :)
ReplyDeleteNature always grow back :))
Whew! Glad Irene didn't linger too long in your neighbourhood :) Have to say it all looked terrifying on TV...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are all safe. Mother Nature is making her noise on the East Coast this Summer. I hope she is finished because everyone needs some peace. On the other hand, I am looking forward to our first rain because our California ground is so dry this time of year. We sometimes have mushrooms growing in our winter ground, but I imagine you will soon have an abundance. New mushroom recipes soon to follow?
