Hurricane Irene, lets see some pics and stories

[DarkSkies]

Those pics are powerful, Monty. To think of all their stuff that got ruined. There were people without power for a week, and some didn't have water. Imagine running your daily life in your house, without water. That's gotta suck.
Thanks for posting, I think it's hard for some of us to realize what these people are still going through. The pictures show it better than any words could.

Wow. It is amazing to think of what some folks went through, and with all the rains this week it will be even worse. It's like a death lottery, where you don't want to be the one who wins it. I saw about 10 trees between yesterday and today that were laying down on there sides.
