Irene attacks

So Irene came and walloped... Here are some devastating pics from my fellow Brit friend's house that was struck by a tree during the 'after winds'. Horrible, they just left Brooklyn for the calm and serenity of New Jersey, but there is nothing serene about this. And here are a bunch of trees, lying dead in midtown...And this picture was taken 2 weeks after...

See Ya Irene

She came. She cost us a night at the Jersey Shore. She tried to get us to cancel big plans, but we prevailed. It wasn't as bad as expected but still was damaging. New York was an absolute ghost town, completely eerie.

Here are some shots of damage, and funny signs we saw _ I loved the 'you know why' comment.
