No damage to report. The basement did take on a little water. Most importantly everyone is safe!

I'm glad to see you paid NO ATTENTION to orders to stay safely away from potential danger, Chris.

As for me, my worst problem was that the TV stations pre-empted programming for Irene coverage 24/7 all weekend, so I had to watch DVDs. My lights flickered a time or three, and that's it. Madison is in the "shadow" of the Watchungs, giving us some shelter from nor'easter winds, and is not prone to flooding. Other than that, the biggest hassle was dealing with the crowds in town Sunday afternoon and evening. Many people surrounding us lost power, which we didn't (would you believe, we have our "own" power company, sort of?), so they flocked here to grab lunch and dinner. Typical waits for a table was an hour.

Good thing I don't eat out. Uhhh, I mean, in restaurants that is.
