We used to get a lot of hurricanes around here back in the 50's and into the 60's, but it's been pretty quiet until Irene. That one was bad only because the power companies were unprepared, leaving us in the dark for up to two weeks (only 5 days at my house, though). The crews have been out the last few days cutting away limbs and branches, so the outages shouldn't be as bad. I feel sorry for people near the shore, though. They'll need to evacuate their homes because of the flooding.
