Hurricane Irene has arrived

Hurricane Irene has already been tearing up the East Coast, but now it’s making its way to the Northeastern states. Unfortunately, its track is approaching my region, and I’m expecting it to hit pretty hard here. That means 50-75 mile-per-hour winds (with gusts up to 80 miles-per-hour) and tons of rain. My main concerns are power outages and trees crashing down on the house (there are a few trees right outside that seem like they could fall over with a decent amount of force…)

So if you don’t see any updates (or very minimal updates) today, you can thank old Ireney for that. It’s very possible that a power outage will affect the area, and if that happens, I have no idea when it’ll return. If something does happen, I’ll do my best to post on the site to give you all a heads or or I’ll somehow inform Austin about the situation so he can provide an update.

Anyways, good luck to all of the East Coast residents out there. Stay safe!
