I don't think that New England knows how to say welcome very well. First we we had an earthquake as a welcome home surprise. Then we were sent Hurricane Irene along with the tornado warnings. And of course followed up by the floods.
We did ride out all of these just fine. The earthquake was just a little frightening since I've never been in one before. Originally I thought a big truck went through the potholes outside our house, but the shaking was lasting longer than that so I started to realize something was up. I went for cover, but didn't need it. We were at least prepared for Hurricane Irene to come. We had plenty of water, food, and even gas for our camping stove. The power went out for about an hour for us. We don't live near enough to any of the rivers to have any serious flooding. The pictures on the news of some of the areas in Philadelphia and throughout New England did make it very real that this did cause a lot of damage to other people. We're very blessed to not have been hit harder.
Next time New England, no housewarming gifts.
The extent of the flooding at our house. A giant puddle that covered the whole intersection.
