How lucky we were not only to be able to get out of Irene's path but to escape major storm damage as well.
This is what we saw lots of when we finally got to Rt. 58.
Utility trucks and generators!
And, gotta love Mike for finding food in an almost sold out convenience store that only accepted cash and where the McDonald's was only open for lunch.
And, the 2.5 hr trip up Rt. 58 went relatively quickly since we were on the lookout for down power lines and trees! And, boy were there a lot! Huge trees that were uprooted, some were just laying on power lines and cars were crushed. It was difficult to take pictures while we were moving but happened to catch some ones that I could post.
Can you believe these caravans?!? There were two separate motorcades and we believe they were transporting prisoners that were evacuated due to the storm. ick.
And, when we got home we got right to work.
We are thinking that we could contract these girls out :).
Our small pile will become pretty large once the week goes on.
Again, thanks Mom and Dad for taking all five of us in this weekend! We were definitely on high alert for most of the time we were with you and we thank you for looking after us and making us feel like we made the best decision for our family. Hopefully we won't feel the need to do this again anytime soon, but we are so glad that if we do, we have you!
