Goodnight, Irene!

Irene visited the Old North State with a bad attitude! There is a great deal of damage along her path despite putting on breaks crashing into the Carolina Coast at Cat 1 speed!   From the Beaches to the Capital, Irene took down miles of our 100 year old live oaks like a bull in a china shop! We are full of hospitality here in the South but Irene overstayed her welcome!

The house above made the National News during the coverage of the Outer Banks.

The message to Irene was clear!

The photos above were taken just as Irene rolled into town!  I took my favorite photo above which to me looked like an angel watching over the shore, just before Irene let her fury loose!

 At the end of the day we are very grateful!

Peace has returned to Eastern NC!

Good Night, Irene, Good Night!

Enjoy your Day, Carolina Style!

* My thoughts and prayers are with the entire East Coast and all who have suffered great loss!  I am very proud of all the volunteering I've witnessed over the last few days as neighbors and communities come together to help those in need.
