Hurricane, er, Tropical Storm Irene

Phil taunting the Hurricane. This was the calm before the storm!
We all slept downstairs b/c we were afraid of...
These beasts in our backyard falling on our house! Luckily none did. But at about 3am I sat by a window (really safe I know) watching these suckers blowing sideways. Creepy!!
After the storm. We made out really well. A few big limbs and lots of small sticks to clean up and that was it! Our power never went out and we didn't get water in the basement. We were pretty blessed! So many others in our ward adn in our area didn't fair as well. The next day I went to a friends house and helped her suck water out of her basement and i felt so lucky that we were dealing w/ such stress!!
